| Finally Someone Gets It!
BPL has never been about residential Internet access, it's about real-time metering and billing. That's what the utilities want, to be able to bill you market rates when you're using the electricity. Finally someone in the press gets the idea of where all of this is going.
Advantage: You can really save money by running that dishwasher while you're in bed.
Disadvantage: Your electricity rates will be all over the map and subject to the whims and paranoia of commodity traders - just like gasoline. |

1 edit | They have actually had the technology to do that for many years without using BPL.. It's capable of being done at much lower frequencies in the 100KHZ range.. |
