RSGB responds to Ofcom PLT statement

The Society recently published a statement commenting on the release by Ofcom of a test report commissioned by them in 2008 on certain Power Line Adapters (PLAs). The report by ERA was initially withheld from release by Ofcom after a Freedom of Information Act request. However on appeal the Information Commissioner forced Ofcom to release it.

 

Ofcom has now made a further statement on this matter which is in full at http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/enforcement/spectrum‐enforcement/plt/.

 

The Society is once again so very concerned at the content of the Ofcom statement that we feel we must respond publicly to correct what we see as several misleading and inaccurate points.  The relevant parts of Ofcom’s statement are set out below followed by the Society’s response.
