Re: hopefully this will expand to "the sticks" said by fifty nine:
You're freakin' kiddin' me right?
Mark my words - DSL will reach the sticks way before BPL does.
I just got a notice from Verizon yesterday that I can now get DSL. I live in the sticks. I've had cable for five years now by some act of God. I know there's folks in downtown Megalopolis that can't get DSL or cable, but if they can get it to me, they can get it to anyone.
I think this BPL ruling may actually be BPL's downfall. It awoke the sleeping giants like SBC. The race BPL was in just got worse. The industry would have done better by keeping quiet. Powell put a target on them, for both competitors and radio spectrum users. |
