From the ARRL Web site:

The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today released its decision on the ARRL's Petition for Review of the FCC's Orders adopting rules governing broadband over power line (BPL) systems. The Court agreed with the ARRL on two major points and remanded the rules to the Commission.

The full story from the ARRL.

This is good news because the FCC ignored ham radio arguments and went with what power companies wanted to do regardless of the impact on services to others. Then the FCC didn't allow anyone else to see the studies upon which they made the decision.

So we will ignore the will of the people, do what companies want, keep the studies secret that we used to make the decision, and implement it over your objections.

That approach sounds so familiar to me....hmmmm.

At least the Appeals Court can see this logic and send it back.
