BPL Hype

A pyramid scheme to draw in gullible investors (suckers). Simple pump and dump. BPL is third-rate, backward-looking technology that will not be competitive with wireline, cable, fiber, and wireless.

I don't think google has any interest in being an ISP, or competing with broadband. There interest is much further down the road, when appliances can be plugged in, they can get info about brand, usage and other needs *without* having people actively submit any of this info. They can then turn around and sell this info. They are not setting themselves up to be an ISP, but an information broker.
