The FCC finds power line communication exceeds radiation limit The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the agency which regulates wireless systems in the United States. The FCC issues licenses to users of the wireless spectrum, to ensure that one transmitter does not interfere with another. The agency also investigates complaints of interference. In 2003-04, FCC Lab measured seven Power Line Communication (PLC) systems, and found that it could clearly pick up the emissions from all of them. This was also the case where the electrical cables were underground, though underground cables clearly radiate less than aerial power lines. Some of the FCC measurements were in response to complaints from radio amateurs, who were located up to 0.7 miles (1100 meters) from power lines carrying PLC signals. The seven PLC systems were all of the Broadband over Power Line (BPL) type.The FCC found that one of the BPL systems violated the United States radiation limits. http://www.eiwellspring
