The bandwidth offered is small in BPL in most cases. As technology rolls the bandwidth will be in the order of dial-up soon making the investment in BPL technology not worth and the companies deploying BPL might not recover cost as well (forget for a moment such draconian bandwidth caps mentioned in the article and interference isues)
It was pushed by former FCC chairman to give the illusion of competitive market as an excuse to lift regulations on Telco. Now, that most of those regulations are already removed there is no point pushing this. We now live essentially a CableCo and Telco duopoly with the balance of scale moving in favor of Telcos.
For under-served communities WiMAX and Wi-Fi present a much better alternatives while Fiber is the way of future for both Telco and CableCos. |
