Re: you would be happy about this..... BPL in rural areas is wishful thinking. BPL in rural areas encouraging competition is delusional thinking. One company, IBEC, is focusing on rural-community deployments, primarily through RUS loans. They have a number "in the queue," so it appears that they can make a go of it in that niche.
The Arkansas BPL deployment being done by Entergy is on a rural line. There is rumor that some of this equipment is Ambient, but the only company listed by Entergy in their BPL-database entry is Corinex, so it appears from the public record to me that they intend to go with Corinex, if they decide to go with BPL at all.
