All I can say is, if this made the top 10 list of problems, BB is in better shape than I thought.

Well, we are at number nine. That leaves 8 more significant issues. I think it's a great point to make. Have you looked at your phone bill lately? A $20 base service becomes over $30 after they're done adding on all these fees. If left unchecked your broadband bill could look like that next.

The ARRL, an association of amateur radio operators, recently filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, D.C., alleging that the broadband over power line (BPL) trial now being conducted in Briarcliff Manor, New York, by Consolidated Edison and Ambient Corporation continues to produce radio frequency emissions that seriously interfere with and impair the ability of ham radio operators to use their FCC-licensed radio stations.
You can listen to comments about this situation from Dave Sumner, CEO of the ARRL, by clicking here.

You can read Mr. Sumner's remarks to a recent conference about different means of delivering broadband Internet access, which was held at Columbia University, by clicking here.
Etopia Media's Broadband over Power Line World (BPLW) spoke briefly today with Chris Olert, a spokesperson for Consolidated Edison, to get that organization's take on the ARRL complaint.
Mr. Olert told BPLW "the FCC has acknowledged that Con Edison complies with its parameters."

| 200mbps BPL-powers 2 HDTVs + 4 regular TVs sharing one electric wire---> CEBIT, GERMANY
The mains attraction
Further to my story about the 200Mbit/sec mains links (see elsewhere on this site) here is a picture of one in action. It uses modules from the Spanish company DS2 and is delivering two HD video streams at around 25Mbits/sec each, and four standard TV streams. You may just be able to make out the plug-in DS2 modems that do the trick – they look like mains power adapters. Panasonic claims its techology is unique in offering quality of service – that is guaranteed timely delivery of packets. But developers of both rival techologies say they too support QoS, and there certainly seemed to be no dropped frames in the demonstration I saw. You won’t be able to buy those DS2 modems – the company sells its technology for others to use in products. But booth neighbour Corinex, which uses DS2 technology, says it will be selling a 90-euro modem into the UK in a couple of months.

| Telecom Trends: BPL Poised for Rapid Growth as access technology
Posted on: 03/24/2005
Broadband over power line (BPL), a technology that uses the electricity power grid to bring broadband signals into buildings, is ready to take off, according to a report from Telecom Trends International Inc. Global revenue will reach $4.4 billion by 2011, says the firm.
Telecom Trends says that broadband power line communications is well-positioned to compete head on with DSL and cable modem technologies for a share of the broadband access market.
According to the report, there were significant BPL commercial rollouts last year, and dozens of trials are taking place on all the continents. The BPL access services market generated $57.1 million in revenue worldwide in 2004.
The previously single-purpose electricity distribution system now has a new function, says Naqi Jaffery, president at Telecom Trends. There are no longer any serious technical limitations to the deployment of BPL for high-speed Internet access, he adds.
While there is no global standard for BPL access, each vendor offers its own proprietary solution, says the firm, although BPL does use existing infrastructure, which lowers the cost of deployment and provisions services at competitive prices.
Jaffery says every household connected to the power grid can be offered BPL by the power utility in partnership with the appropriate vendor. As the grid becomes the so-called “third wire” to the premises, the massive scale presented throughout the world will drive costs ever lower, he points out.

It may matter to some, but it's totally irrelevant to me. The final price is important, sure. But I fail to see why I should give a crap how many line items it takes to get to that final price.
I hope the next 8 are more significant that this one

The problem is that are not "up front" when the service is advertised or promoted.
Only after receiving the first bill are they disclosed, this is deceptive, and poor customer relations.
If you are going to charge a "Regulatory Recovery Fee", just bury the damn thing in the service price, putting on the bill just pisses everyone off.

You, maybe, but not me and not lots of other people. Again...wtf is the difference? Scroll to the bottom line of the bill and write the check. Or if it's too much, find a better alternative.
I think it's hilarious, all the moaning over charges and fees. Like, you really *care* how they break it down? Fine, if that makes you happy. You're writing the same check whether they break the fees and stuff out or bill it as a lump sum.
Life is too short for this bullsh*t. |
