2 edits |  ARRL will fight BPL to the death
Let's face it, the ARRL will fight BPL to the death. Even in those cases where no interference is seen. Their position is that maintenance issues down the road COULD result in interference.

| ARRL
ARRL is going the way of the dinosaur, just like the garment factory workers of the USA. The only thing, they are choosing to go out like the MPAA & RIAA, kicking and screaming like little babies. They just do not have the money coffers to sue everyone.
Now, all you hammies start complaining about how you save the world and the interference caused by BPL also crosses into military, emergency and whatnot space.
If the government cared about you & your bandwidth, they would stop BPL. As it is, they are not concerned about the interference. Just rollover & die already. |

Wow, another troll type posting. 
If the government really cared about broadband, it would be a utility rather than an information service. |

| Symmetrical ?
And for the most part these speeds are mostly Symmetrical. I am all for this FOR GOD sakes 25-30 bucks for those type of speeds. And then of course lets see some pings!

Even 4/1 would be great.

| BPL GOOOO
Death to hammies!
Death to hammies!
With the deregulation, now Cables and Baby Bell are getting cocky. BPL and hopefully Globetell (Stratelite) will bring stability to these muscle headed companies.
We need couple more ISP with money behind them to squize the steroids out of Cable and Bells. |

| I'm from that area of Texas...
Wow, can't believe Flatonia,TX made the news on here! I'm originally from that area. There are also a couple of other nearby towns that are supposedly getting BPL too.
Note: $25 may still be too much for most people living in this area. Flatonia is mostly a ghost town with a lot of retired people. Downtown is virtually non-existant. Most people won't pay over $9.95 for internet. They will have to offer a lower price, especially for Senior Citizens and Retired people. |

| I am familiar with the area as well. I guess that is why they are using it as a trial location. There is no other options for broadband so if it is better than dialup then they will consider it a success.
I think I saw on their website that they only plan on putting a couple dozen users on the system. I also thought I saw that they will be using T1s for bandwidth. I guess they are bonding them to get the 4mbps. |

if the telcos and cablecos aren't fighting it.
If the incumbents aren't lobbying against BPL, they must not see it as a threat. They're taking it for what it is - a niche product that will likely never threaten their monopoly/duopoly. |

| BPL is the same concept that the Power companies have been trying for years ... remote meter reading. It costs a power distribution company bundles on reading meters. They've tried for years to be able to read their meters remotely and automated. They haven't been succesful yet.
BPL is a technology that by the laws of physics cannot work as advertised. It's no wonder that many such attempts have failed already. |

Re: BPL GOOOO
I just hope, for your sake that the next time a hurricane knocks out your communications and the cell system is jammed or gone that your Ham neighbor is not "dead"
He may be in contact with the outside world, able to pass health and welfare information for, and about you, for a couple of days before general communications networks are available again.
Not a difficult scenario to visualize since it happend two or three times in Florida just last year.
