Re: Powerline Broadband

You've still got to get it to the customers. When those customers are one or two to a transformer and spaced 1-2 miles apart, there is no sensible economic model that works. You still have to get the data to and from remote substations, and you still have to deal with the physics of power distribution systems. This is not the same as Homeplug, and the infrastructure is not already in place.

If BPL was the savior of rural America, it would already be deployed. This is not a new idea.

I would put cash money on BPL being offered in my area long before FIOS ever is. Fact is I already have electric wires to my house. The nearest FIOS fiber is oh about 700 miles away.

Chicago, IL		 Who said anything about FiOS?

Electric wires are just the starting point for BPL. There is a lot of other equipment involved.
