Sure the backbone is fiber, but the most I've seen offered anywhere via BPL (again correct me if I'm wrong) is about 6 meg down. If 802.11b already exceeds that right now, why would an investment in BPL make sense at all? I'm sure the utility would find wifi "drops" cheaper than all the gear necessary to make a BPL drop to a home, even if they over built the system and had a one-to-one drop requirement (one home gets a direct dedicated point to point wireless or BPL connection).

I'd like to be supportive, but I don't get it.

Any other system has generated serious interference in the HF and lower VHF bands. The ARRL has, with others, put enough pressure on other communities to terminate their tests.

»www.arrl.org/news/stories/2005/08/29/1/ So, if it is not this system, then the short answer to your question is "probably not"

A Google search or a search from »www.arrl.org on "bpl test arrl" returns many articles on the subject.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14891222 Sun, 27 Nov 2005 08:25:31 EDT Re: Interfearence free? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14891031 mieses : fiber optics is a different phenomenon than electromagnetism. maybe the repeaters or amplifiers, being electromagnetic devices, would be affected, but shouldn't the optic signals in the fiber be unaffected by any electromagnetic interference?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14891031 Sun, 27 Nov 2005 06:36:30 EDT Re: Interfearence free? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14889279 John Galt :

Ever sit a power supply brick near the phone line attached to your dial up modem? The interference from the power line would be bad to run fibre along the lines. theres a reason why this isnt done and it isnt a money factor.
Yeah...OK.

:huh:

No fiber for you...!!

One thing I have never understood is why the power companies just don't run fiber along their transmission lines and run it into homes.
