Re:ROFL said by Ham band guy: All I have to say is GO FIBER, this will be the death knell for BPL. As far as grid monitoring,that can be done with fiber and wireless links. Actually, grid monitoring supposedly can be done using "BPL", except that it is not really broadband at that point, much lower frequency requirements to monitor/control power meters and substations. Plus there would be a lot of fiber at substations most likely. I read somewhere (and think so myself) that most BPL is an attempt to get the grid monitoring at no cost to the utility investors. Roll out BPL as a separate business with separate investors, then when it dies you can fall back on the grid monitoring and not have to pay for the infrastructure.
Of course, except for astronomy, navigation, and submarine communications applications, I am not very familiar with LF and down.
