Well, I am sort of against that one because of the ramifications to ham radio and other public communications on that area of the spectrum. I hope they're not that dumb to think "well cable companies do it so the power guys could too". The difference is that the cable lines are shielded to prevent signal leak where the electric ones would be a big arial. We don't want to give pirates an idea to broadcast by using the power line as antenna and power.
