I'm running it down. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Goddard, Art (Dir, SW) Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 4:30 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:11412] From a Regional Source... John Kerry is live on Las Vegas CH 3 making a speech to the AARP convention being held here. He just said he supports BPL as a means of getting the internet to rural areas so kids can have a better education and wants to push its installation and use. Why do they need BPL? If they have a phone line they can use dial-up or DSL. But the point is he wants to push BPL. This is not meant to be a political statement, I am just relaying what I have just heard with my own ears off my T.V. concerning his stand on BPL. I normally watch the CH 3 News at Noon program but today it was pre-empted for Kerry's speech. FYI FWIW. Please no Flames, remember, its not nice to kill the messenger. 73
