-Maine and Canada loss power to millions when hit by Noreaster a few years back. Powerlines forzen and towers collapsed.
-Midwest hit by icestorms. Power to tens of thousands out for several days.
-California still to implement rolling blackouts (though not on the scale Enron did).
-Summer months in the states use most electricity and most demand on grid. Resistance increases and signal strength drops.
-----
Power is unclean and unreliable. BPL is more ambitious for developing countries that have newer systems going inplace. Even then, they opt more for wireless than using electric utility.
Another point: since a utility company is reselling communications, how does this play with the Public Utilities Commission? |
