RSGB goes to law over PLA dispute with Ofcom

The RSGB continues to take the Power Line Adaptor compliance fight to Ofcom.

Following Ofcom’s statement on PLT/PLA on the 3 September 2009 and the RSGB’s response statement issued on the 4 September 2009. The Society has now received a formal reply from Ofcom following the Society’s earlier formal complaint to Ofcom regarding non compliance PLA’s and Ofcom’s interpretation of the EMC Directive regarding these devices.

The RSGB continues to find Ofcom’s responses and position totally unacceptable and has recently met with and instructed its lawyers to investigate a legal challenge on the Ofcom position.

The RSGB will continue the fight to protect the radio spectrum against non compliant devices which cause unacceptable levels of interference particularly to the HF bands.  We will issue further statements as the case develops.
