| Re: 2008.. or 2007 for ENTERGY Corp. BPL ? If you are using the UPLC BPL map as your source, you will have to delete a few of them. At least 8 of the systems that UPLC is claiming are providing BPL have shut down or never appeared in the UPLC's BPL database.
Of the systems that are actually in operation, most have only a handful of customers involved in a technology or marketing trial.
With BPL presently listed as being in 138 ZIP codes at best, and bragging about 5,800 BPL lines as compared to millions for cable and DSL, I don't think anyone can claim 2006 as the year of BPL.
Although there is some forward progress being made by the industry on interference issues, they are doing now what they should have done three years ago. Had the industry chosen to act responsibly from the getgo, although I don't think that BPL would be a rousing success, the industry probably would have more to brag about than 0.011% of the total high-speed lines being BPL.

| Re: 2008.. or 2007 for ENTERGY Corp. BPL ? With fairness to BPL, FCC had just recently give equal status to BPL like DSL and cable as Information service last 11/3/2006. This gives clearance to any BPL and Utility provider a clearer rules. Next year, hopefully we should see more trials and Commercial rollouts... imho
