| There are better ways to provide broadband Speaking as both an amateur radio operator and a bandwidth geek (I have 10mbps/1mbps cable, the fastest speed I can get in my area), I have to ask, why is BPL the only way to provide broadband to "everyone?" The only argument for BPL that I've heard, is that everyone has a power line so everyone can get it. Well phone lines are just as plentiful and all can be capable of DSL if more remote terminals would be deployed.
I'm not sure what the speeds are of BPL but personal experience has shown that both fiber, and cable and DSL, even wireless, offer very good speeds both ways! So besides deliberately interfering with radio communications, what makes BPL this we have to have right now option, when clearly options such as more fiber or wireless or even wider deployment of cable and DSL systems would do fine? |
