The raw bandwidth of coaxial cable is 1 or 1.5 Ghz...the "real" (conducted) bandwidth of an unshielded powerline is what.. 300 kHz (kilohertz) maybe ? BPL is unscalable Dark Ages technology.

Well then nobody will buy and the whole thing will be a big bust and hams will be in hog heaven.


Well, not really. When one considers that hams are largely techies, we long for broadband just as much as many of you here. We have to deal with the same frustrations with lack of coverage. It's unfortunate that a solution like BPL has gotten this far. There's no winners in this. Investors will lose money, carriers will have to deal with failed service offerings, and people working at BPL equipment companies lose jobs. The only people that actually make out were at the FCC. It's likely a new administration will be in place when the problems are fully realized and the current administration people have moved on to private sector jobs (as lobbyists! )...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9559961 Tue, 02 Mar 2004 17:49:50 EDT Re: 50 mbps in 2 years cable executives say http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9559791 downstreamer :

Did anybody see that story about 50 mbps in 2 years from cable providers. i know the cable systems are very robust but damn.. i think we are just hit the tip of the ice berg.
