BPL Provider Ambient Gets FCC Hand Slap

I guess things must be a bit slow at the FCC Enforcement Bureau this month. They finally got around to responding to the complaints about Ambient's Briarcliff Manor, NY BPL (Broadband Over Powerline) system. It seems that the FCC has concluded that Ambient has "violated the radiated emission limits of Section 15.109 of the Commission's Rules".

You can view the complete FCC letter at http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/plc/AmbientBPLAdmonishment.pdf

Let's see...the ARRL first filed a complaint via a letter to the FCC on March 29, 2006. Various hams had filed complaints long before this date. I suppose that the FCC has been rather busy and hasn't had time to actually do its job of enforcing its own regulations.

OK, so Ambient is clearly violating FCC rules. What's next?
