BPL seems like it has a lot of potential

it'd be interesting to see how BPL would change the broadband landscape if they could ever work out all the interference bugs with it

Interesting how? Its top speeds are less than mid-range DSL, it is prone to interference from both natural and man-made sources, it rides on a physical layer which is a massive interference-generator itself, and it can't scale easily. It doesn't even work well for remote/rural deployment.

what i dont get is if the power company wants to provide data, just run fiber right with their power lines. they already have the right of way. and to weasel it past the Corrupt regulators in the government say its real purpose is for remote reading of meters so that 100-1000s of meter vans dont have to go out and pump CO2 into the air for a job that could be remote. and then once the hardware is in place quietly in electric bills offer customers data services with their electric.
