Re: Hot.
After Many successful trials, and a few bad deployments, with a few premature cancellations. The technology is finally ready for the mainstream application.
Really, under what criteria is something "premature cancelled"? The places it got cancelled were due to it being financially unsound.
Essentially the agencies against it's deployment are trying to get the momentum to stop, by forcing a(n) (illegitimate) prophecy to come to fruition. Don't forget that there are more than just this person on the panel.
What illegitimate prophecy is that? |

Some of those visionaries are high on the fumes blowing out of their rear ends. As gwion mentions above, BPL was always a middling solution at best. I don't see any successful trials resulting in deployments bringing broadband to those who don't already have access in the form of cable, dsl, fios, etc. I don't see them rushing to fill in the rural niches neglected by mainstream cable and dsl deployments, to those who are supposedly yet unserved and need it.
They want to bring a "choice" which is not even as competitive, economical, nor efficient as the existing ones already in place. BPL is and always has been a broadband bandwagon jumper. Not a good solution by any stretch of the imagination either, judging by FACTS like their track record and not fiction like their PR.
BPL = complex nonsolution to simple nonproblem.
