Where do they get their money? Is this just more taxpayer money being thrown down the tubes? |

Re: MBDA
If you read the article ... It say's they secured a LOAN!
So, My guess is that no taxpayer money involved.
Call me nuckin futs but, I think that is what the article said. |

This project has been in talks for over 3 months, and we had the opportunity to do some testing for the MBDA due to the closeness of our offices; demonstrating the positive, and outlining what little negative can actually come of the deployment, and how long it should take to make the negative negated so to speak; Of course this is based on the amount of time that it can stay deployed so that problems have time to get rectified according to FCC limitations. We also had the opportunity of being included in talks about pricing plans and speeds, You won' be disappointed if they stick to the pricing agreed on during the portion of the meeting we were privy to. |

Re: Hell yea!
naaa... DTE is too dumb to do something like this. Besides, they have a hard enough time properly maintaining their power grid, throw in internet service and it'll be a disaster. |

Its about time they get this running. I've been waiting for it for a long time, since I have no broadband options. Although I'm not quite in either of these 2 towns, I'm about 10 miles out of each of them. I've emailed consumers and they said that it should be available to alot of people by 2006  |

Re: Poor people
Glad to see it. This how things get done. The DSL roll out was horrible but they over came the problems for the most part.

Does this BPL installation cause interference on amateur radio frequencies like most BPL installations that exist today?
And I found this little FUD gem in the press release:
"Performance of BPL is similar to that of cable modem, but unlike cable offers the same speeds both upstream and downstream."
Cable can offer the same speed in both directions. Most cable companies just keep the upload at a lower speed to discourage servers and save on costly bandwidth charges. I would bet that the BPL provider will eventually do the same. |

Re: finally
I wouldn't count on that if I were you. The test roll outs so far have all been dismal failures because of inteference issues, among other things. Seems none of the equipment suppliers so far are capable of providing equipment that meets FCC guidelines for incidental radiators. Bottom line: BPL's radiated interference is going to be it's death knell. It simply cannot and will not be tolerated in the end.
On top of this, Congress is starting to climb the FCC's ass about BPL, and, since Michael powell is gone, the new FCC chairman is apparently amenable to rectifying the FCC's mistake.
Just when you thought all was lost... |
