I don't know I have been working in the office building that IBM wired with something they called BPL, and I feel funny. |
2. He knows somebody at IBM
3. That person at IBM will feed this journalistic Bozo anything he wants to hear.
4. Doesn't tell the reporter the real reason for the interest in BPL which is to feed IBM stock holders a line of total Bull Sh*t these stockholders would be pissed if IBM didn't at least try to belly up to the Washington pork barrel.
5. The reporter works for a newspaper who is looking to lay off a bunch of people, or could be even be going out of business, feels much better having made his deadline. Never mind the story is a total line of horse sh*t.
6. The unknown person at IBM smiles knowing he has got away yet again with a prime piece of Bovine Scatology.
7. Everyone is happy. 
The bottom line is IBM is not interested in any thing like this it is too small, and IBM does not want to deal with the public, only business customers. So what ever interest IBM has in this technology has nothing to do with the myth of BPL for the rural masses.
The real interest IBM has and that is SmartGrid appilcations. This is an area that would be large enough to interest IBM. --
