Re: ARLA/CLUSTER: A FCC suprimiu estudos sobre interferências do BPL.

[Carlos Mourato]

Realmente sõ se esperava isso. Gostava de ver tambem em Portugal, e em nome
da transparencia, como é referido no email, o estudo da ANACOM sobre o BPL
em Portugal, nomeadamente os relatorios refrentes às vistorias efectuadas às
estações interferidas e que reclamaram.Mais uma vez eu digo e volto a dizer.
Haja quem avance para tribunal com esta palhaçada do PLC que eu contribuio
monetáriamente. Não existirã nenhum advogado entre nõs que queira avançar
com um processo destes?...Se eu fosse formado em direito, nem pedia ajuda a
ninguem!...

Save the Radio Spectrum! Eliminate Broadband over Power Line. Salve as
frequencias de radio. Não use a rede electrica para transmitir dados. O PLC
causa fortes interferencias noutro serviços sem voce se aperceber. Diga não
ao PLC. Proteja o ambiente
