Canonsburg, PA		Note: In a Major City

Note that DirecTV wants to see this test done in a major city. BPL if it succeeds at all will only be in areas that already have broadband internet service, it is not an answer at all for the digital divide.

 I don't get it. BPL is broaband over power line. What does a satelite provider have in common with the power company who owns the power lines? What's the power companies motivation share?
Hell the telcos had a piece of legislation in place requiring them to share and they didn't. Why would we think BPL is going to be any different?

My point exactly + the interference with HAM radios and what-not. Now..if it came to my city of 12,000 people? I'd love it. We already have broadband, but anything above 1.5 mbit via DSL is unavailable, and cable is outrageously expensive, with their highest speed tier being ONLY 5 mbps.
