| In a nutshell BPL has no credibility because it's never lived up to the hype. BPL companies ignored the technological issues and essentially unleashed lawyers and marketing people to solve technical problems. The interference to wireless spectrum was the main thing that made many put BPL under a microscope. Ultimately it was market forces that caused the decline of BPL.
Google "BPL" and spend the next four or five hours reading articles from 2003 to present if you want the gory details. |

Here are a few of the reasons.
They said it would bring broadband to rural communities. BS, it needed way too much infrastructure to get it to work in dence suburbs.
They said it would compete with cable and DSL and lower prices. Didn't happen.
People wanted speed and BPL did not have it. |
