What a waste of money

Unless the FCC rules are re-written to null and
void all interference issues. BPL can't work.

All the "BPL test case failures" around the world.
Should be an example to why BPL can't work.

No matter how you candy-coat BPL. It just doesn't work.

Precisely what I was thinking. So much for that, I guess.

Re: What a waste of money

Ditto. (Except for the fact that Google is already trying to muscle out prior existing trademark and site owners from some names that Google wants to "claim" for it's own... Google is ALREADY "doing evil", and has been for some time, and it will only get worse now that Google is a large, powerful, "public" company, and isn't ashamed to throw its weight around to crush the little guys to get what it wants. They're really no different than Microsoft during their early years. I wish people could see that.)

No its not a waste of money. Rural areas have no broadband other than WildBlue and the like which is more expensive and very latent.

USA needs a big push for broadband in the rural underserved areas. For the average urban and suburban area, BPL can also freely compete HOWEVER the free marketplaces as of now mean that BPL wont be competitive offering.

Unfortunatly it seems from what I have noticed that these BPL rollouts are not in the underserved areas.

Wireless is the only broadband for the rural. BPL will never make it out of the cities....

What's funny is that even Wireless isn't coming to my area.
