FCC Releases Unredacted BPL Case Studies after ARRL FOIA Request
Earlier this month, the FCC released the redacted portions of the studies on which they relied with regard to
its Broadband over Powerline (
BPL) rulemaking in 2004 after
ARRL filed a Freedom of Information Act request
on March 31 for the studies. In October 2007, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
heard ARRL's case against the Commission,
stating, among other things, that the FCC not only withheld the internal studies until it was too late to comment,
but had yet to release portions of studies that may not support its own conclusions regarding BPL. The FCC claimed
that the studies were "internal communications" that it did not rely upon in reaching its decision to adopt the BPL
rules. In its April 2008 ruling, the Court
ordered
the FCC to release the studies.
