 I don't have access to this website, but here is a short excerpt from the article. If I find the link I will post it.

BPL Not Well Suited For Rural Broadband Deployment Says NRTC Study

26 January 2006
Warren's Washington Internet Daily
Volume 7; Issue 17

In a setback for BPL technology, a soon-to-be- released National Rural Telecom Co-op (NRTC) study concluded BPL isn't appropriate for "sparsely-populated rural" broadband and utility applications.

As ham radio operators have pointed out all along, this has nothing to do with and never will have anything to do with rural access. BPL is subject to the same economies of scale as DSL and cable. The only thing it has been offering in many areas is another pipe, and a low speed "polluting" one at that, besides cable and DSL. Mind you that the "polluting" part does not apply to the two newer BPL designs that were specifically designed to avoid emissions on the HF spectrum.

Here on Long Island, the Long Island Power Authority is studying whether or not to offer BPL. This in a place where Verizon is rolling out FiOS, DSL has good penetration and Optimum Online offers 15/2 basic with 30/2 optional service
