| according to David Sumner, CEO at ARRL First of all, BPL is mainly used for smart grid applications for the utility company's use and ISP is secondary. The Bpl plans in Houston are to setup smart grid and a 3rd party would do the ISP thing later. A full scale smart grid would more than justify the expense or at least it seems so according to the utility folks who want it in Texas.
Secondly, according to David Sumner, CEO ARRL in his "It Seems to Us . . ." Better BPL? article he states... "So far, Current's BPL deployment in Cincinnati--which despite all the hype about Manassas appears to be the largest BPL installation in the country--has proceeded without major interference problems."
If this can be done then who would have a complaint. Texas utility companies interested in BPL are going to use the same config as Cincinnati...word has it. | |

It is more than "word" that has it. According to the industry BPL database (»www.bpldatabase.org), the installation in Dallas is being done using Current Technologies equipment. Word has it  that they are using it for both access BPL to end users and utility applications. The other major installation in Texas is in Houston, where CenterPoint is installing Corinex equipment for utility applications.
