IMHO it won't die. There's too much political crap hanging off it. I bet the City of Manasas doesn't know what the heck it does or why it's bad for us. I bet if a Manasas ham was to file for a tower permit it would get denied on the basis that it would interfere with the crap workings of the BPL system (it is a 2 way argument after all).
Why don't they just invest in a CMTS and run some coax around the poles? Heck, for 600 subscribers I'll do it!!
