This gives clearance to any BPL and Utility provider a clearer rules. Next year, hopefully we should see more trials and Commercial rollouts... imho

Unleash the opportunities of a SYMMETRICAL 200Mbps “Smart Grid”, IPTV and in-home networking for business optimisation of your commercial opportunities of BPL/PLC with killer applications & services: in-home MDU networking, IPTV and triple-play... !!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17427547 Sat, 09 Dec 2006 13:10:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17423514 W1RFI : If you are using the UPLC BPL map as your source, you will have to delete a few of them. At least 8 of the systems that UPLC is claiming are providing BPL have shut down or never appeared in the UPLC's BPL database.

Of the systems that are actually in operation, most have only a handful of customers involved in a technology or marketing trial.

With BPL presently listed as being in 138 ZIP codes at best, and bragging about 5,800 BPL lines as compared to millions for cable and DSL, I don't think anyone can claim 2006 as the year of BPL.

Although there is some forward progress being made by the industry on interference issues, they are doing now what they should have done three years ago. Had the industry chosen to act responsibly from the getgo, although I don't think that BPL would be a rousing success, the industry probably would have more to brag about than 0.011% of the total high-speed lines being BPL.

I'm sorry Dave, but I'm afraid I can't do BPL...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17372058 Thu, 30 Nov 2006 14:42:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17371695 Vamp : 2008 sounds more like it.. And by then there will be other forms of highspeed available to most people (fiber, high speed cable, faster wireless, etc).

I doubt the service would be very reliable, I would only get such a thing if it was high bandwidth symmetrical line, like 20/20 or so.
