Re: Sign me up for their guinea pig experimentation
BPL (or PLC, as it is called in Europe) is a hokey and crude way to send RF signals. The lines themselves will radiate interference (aptly demonstrated over and over again), and they will also be subject to interference from other radio services. www.arrl.org/bpl has lots of good info on it.
BPL is a horrid joke -- shame on IBM for promoting junk technology.
I'm all in favor of getting respectable broadband into rural areas, and I agree with the other poster -- bite the bullet, put fiber in, and in some cases use wireless to go the last few miles. |
