I'm a fiber guy for God's sake, but if I just wanted to read meters and try to offer some broadband offering (with no phone or tv offering), it would just seem to make sense to use a hybrid fiber / wifi system to accomplish that. You'd have much higher potenital for a competitive offering due to higher bandwidth (as far as I can tell) than you'll ever get out of a BPL system. Again, I must be missing something. -- »www.tricitybroadband.com

TXU electric here in Dallas/Fort Worth is plopping-down $10 million (as stated above). I think they know it'll be a consumer flop -- especially in a metro area that is well served by cable and telco broadband. IMHO - TXU just wants the new data-grid for their own sensor/meter-reading network. It's damm good for that. TXU had to get it past the shareholders somehow -- and God knows they're dumb enough to think maybe this thing will pay for itself (heh-heh). -- "...lacking a [U.S.] military option, that leaves only a diplomatic option..."(Andrea Mitchell CNBC's Hardball 1/12/06 on Iran nuke buildup)
