Re: The power utilities need to get real.
Yes, as long as you ignore the following opinion:
quote:
The new owner, Oncor, confirms they have no interest in using the network for broadband. "Our business is delivering electricity, not being an Internet provider or a television provider," an Oncor spokesman tells the AP.
Even when you remove the cost of leasing access, the cost of installing and maintaining the 'physical plant' in sparse areas just isn't profitable. If it was, the cable companies would already be there.
But with so few people benefiting from BPL, it really makes no sense what the FCC has been doing these past few years, ignoring and compromising their own rules...
