Worse than dial-up and satellite (expensive and slow)? if you value your ability to use electronic communications properly, then i'd say YES, it would be and is worse than just about any type of electronic communication facility out there right now...
you have to compare BPL implementation with a similar situation involving a high tech company being taken public and making its owners wealthy... they don't want a bunch of hobbyists asking lots of questions and scaring off investors, greedy and stupid utilities and gullible municipalities... BPL is strictly a money making venture and nothing more, not because it will benefit you, but because it will produce nothing in the end and a lot of people would have and iwll pay for the privilege of saying they did and have nothing to show for it in the end... |

If you live in a sparsely populated rural area, you wouldn't get BPL either. Read the article and the companies even admit it would cost more to deploy it to rural areas than highly populated cities who, for the most part, already have some type of high speed access. |
