Should we as pilots be concerned as to what this can
do to our nav radios?
Yeah, I think so. More benign stuff (cable TV lines) messes up my car radio,
sometimes to the point I can't use it and would be forced into a satellite
radio subscription if I weren't against it on principle, let alone against
being forced into it by the same forces that benefit.
BPL makes no sense to me - power lines are filtered to get rid of the HF stuff,
and that's exactly what broadband needs.
Maybe five miles up it's no biggie, but on approach, when you -really- need it,
that's when it'll bite you. I think this is a far bigger problem than
cellphones on airlines.
