I don't understand why FCC needs BPL for this purpose, as they can always point to satellite "broadband", which covers 100% of the country. "See? Everyone has broadband! The free market rocks!"

In that respect, it appears to have served it's purpose of masking the non-competitive nature of the U.S. broadband market and fooling congress into believing the FCC and incumbent's pronouncements of a "competitive market".

it didn't do so well at providing affordable broadband to the public.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21318831 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 10:31:24 EDT
