Re: Pricing? Up until March of this year I was a Hughesnet and Directv customer, using a tripod and dish with my Motorhome. It served it's purpose. The only reason anyone would do this is if they had no choice. Like cutting off your have to get free.
I now have TWC for TV and their Internet [Roadrunner].
Still there is the occasional "Burp" in both, but they are half the price of Satellite.
When I first heard of BPL I thought, oh boy, won't that make things easier. But the drawbacks and limitations make if impractical. It still doesn't help those in the wilderness areas of America.
This press release may have been put out for some other reason then to tell people what will be coming down the pike. It may have just filled an empty spot in the press.
To try to compete with Cable and DSL at this point would be suicide financially. They will of course be able to glum tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars out of various cities to do tests. Fraud and deception.
BS at internet speeds. It will never come to pass for those who really need it. |
| Here is a way to solve BPL issue. Maybe they need to rid VHF channels 2,3,4 for BPL. Digital TV does not work that good on these lower vhf channels anyway and their are currently limited ammount of dtv channels in this range because of electrical interference. Problem solved!!!Reallocate digital tv channels using channel 2-4 frequency after February 2009 and assign it to unused television spectrum. Also assign channels 2-4 for as part of the ISM/Un-license Band. |
