Yesterday the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released an order adopting rules http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-04-245A1.pdf for broadband over power lines (BPL).

The FCC believes the new rules will promote the development of BPL systems by removing regulatory uncertainties for BPL operators and equipment manufacturers while ensuring that licensed radio services are protected from harmful interference.

Specifically, the FCC is adopting:

1. New operational requirements for BPL to promote avoidance and resolution of harmful interference;

2. New administrative requirements to aid in identifying BPL installations; and

3. Specific measurement guidelines and certification requirements to ensure accurate and repeatable evaluations of emissions from BPL and all other carrier current systems.
