| Not a Viable Alternative After reading this article, it sounds pretty clear that BPL is not a viable alternative to other forms of broadband . . . at least as the technology stands now! While offering little if anything that other forms of broadband already offer, and with all of the major obstacles to be overcome, I see little hope or need for this technology.

| I am not aginst or for BPL, for varied reasons. I don't believe in destroying HF Spectrum that is still used. My town has a BPL rollout that has been delayed because of HAM Radio complaints to the FCC. I'm 12 miles away from the CO, so no DSL. No Cable either. I game online so I cannot use Satellite. Wireless is not avalible in my town. If there was some way that I could get BPL, I would take it. This is a medium density area, Semi-Suburban, you could say. Hardly any emergencies happen out here, so it wouldn't be too bad I don't think.
