As with all legislation, this has been a very long time coming, and there have 
been several items in RadCom about it spread over the last few years, mainly 
in the EMC column. The RSGB was instrumental in setting up a body 
representing the interests of the various users of the short-waves, and this 
body has been submitting data to the standards organisations for several 
years. Two relevant documents are on the RSGB web site:

http://www.rsgb.org/adsl.htm and
http://www.rsgb.org/powerlines.htm

Further detail is at the RSGB EMC Committee site:
