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.
