Wasn't going to mention this, but if you look on the RSGB website, there are moves being made to mount a judicial review into the legality of power line home networking devices: http://www.rsgb.org/news/article.php?id=0011

The newer varieties of these device will use frequencies well into the hundreds of megahertz, that's where air traffic control, police, ambulance and fire brigades have their blocks of RF spectrum, not to mention the non-safety of life comms such as broadcast radio.

Ofcom can and will remove these devices once a complaint has been made that they are causing interference.
All that link says is that amateur radio enthusiasts are trying to get funds to launch a legal challenge to OFCOM's stance on this. Even assuming it gets as far as Court, the challenge can still fail.

It's not correct to say they will be banned. It's correct to say they may be banned.
