Michael Cai, a senior analyst with Dallas research firm Parks Associates, does not expect broadband over power lines to take much business away from DSL and cable modems, which have become well-entrenched in many high-population areas. "It's best positioned in the underserved markets," Cai said of BPL.
Plus, with prices for lower-speed DSL access beginning to drop below $15 a month in many areas, BPL operators may have a harder time carving a niche in those places. Price, after all, was what drew Duquesne customer Reese to the power-line technology.
"Forty dollars a month is really a lot of money," Reese said. "At $19.99 - that's a lot more doable."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....back again? Guess you aren't using the callsign of a HAM anymore cause you got caught. 
If you think BPL is cheap, here is what an ISP in Australia is doing:
»whirlpool.net.au/article.cfm/1541
Only 2GB of data (including upload) for $80/month? :D:D
And people thought Comcast with their 2GB limit on newsgroups was bad.
»www.tastel.com.au/bpl/prod_benefits.html
These are the supposed benefits of it. Free VOIP? I wonder how long a call would it take to hit that 2GB limit? :D:D
Give it up troll boy, cut and paste doesn't cut it from this crowd and it is even further disregarded with your anonymous standing. |
