 ieee1394Premium join:2001-08-25 Washington | Who wants BPL anyway??? BPL is just a plain dumb technology. You'd think someone would have realised that there would be huge interference issues when trying to transmit data over an inherently noisy medium.
The smarter thing to do would be for the power utilities to string fiber along their right of way....Oh yeah, Pepco tried to do that in the DC and Maryland via Starpower and they've been trying to get out of the business ever since. Too bad, it was pretty awesome broadband. Maybe power utilities should just focus on what they do best. |
