Re: What was he reading?
said by toddbs98  : Hmmm don't know what site you been reading but I have yet to see an article on this site that did anything but bash BPL. Well, have you read about any actual successful technical tests or deployments of the technology? I think that most BBR readers are rightfully skeptical of some of the claims made about the tecnology, and similarly, concerned about the potential hazards due to interference with existing technologies, such as emergency-services radio communications networks, airplane navigation systems, and amateur radio broadcasters, which are often critically-important in times of regional emergencies.
I would compare BPL and communications, to "FMD"/cubic/holographic and storage. They make a lot of promises about potential future capabilities, but nothing has really been proven to world in the real world, outside of the lab, yet.
Once it does, I expect to see coverage of those successes here as well - well, if it ever does prove successful outside of the lab, that is. |
