Yes, BPL does interfer with the ham radio frequencies, not to mention other commercial portions of the radio spectrum. Those long, unshielded power transmission lines make very good antennas, radiating the BPL signals, unlike the shielded cable used by cable television (and broadband internet). And it works both ways...ham (and commercial band) radio signals can interfer with BPL.
There are cheaper, more reliable solutions for bringing high speed Internet service to the home.
Instead of placing telescopes in orbit, we should be putting them on the moon. Low gravity and no atmosphere are a huge plus for building large aperture instruments.
I have noticed over the years that those who have a talent for designing software and/or writing code are not necessarily the those who study the hard sciences. The ability to think logically is not a function of the "nerd gene".
...a better idea would be for ICANN to take those Verisign root servers away and give them to an organization that understands important words like "public trust".
