Re: The boat left... ohhhh, let's see... yeah, it
Actually, Ronpin in Keller, TX (and a few other people in other threads) probably come the closest to the reason for the BPL HYPE.
BPL has a use for the power companies, it will allow them to read and control your power usage. It is also low bandwidth, so the RF radiation is probably insignificant. Now, considering the stodginess of the power industry, if they tried to put the BPL in place for that purpose, the stockholders would call it a waste of money. But to try and do Internet to Joe Six Pack, now THAT is different. Now we do a business case, get funding, do a tax plan, then when it folds, take a write off, and recycle it all to the controlling the user better.
Makes more sense than what the media is hyping.
