I think, once all the bugs are worked out, this is going to really drop BB prices, & make it as common as a lamp in an electrical outlet!!

Boy.. I sure hope people aren't holding their breath here. I seem to recall talk about this power-line stuff way back at the same time I heard about companies in No.Va. beginning to seriously get into doing cable modems. I'm not at all convinced about the ability to get past the interference issue while providing decent speeds over distance, and I'm not at all convinced about the ability of utilities to get this stuff implemented any faster than cable or DSL. In fact, a case could be made that at least telcos and cable companies have always been in the business of moving data back or forth, but...
Well, I was pretty skeptical when I first heard about DSL, too... I thought the first time someone showed me a news article about it that it was some pie-in-the-sky thing.. so, we'll see. Then again, I hadn't previously heard about DSL 7 years before... |

Don't hold your breath for a price drop. The reports show that the speed and price will be the same. The trials have indicated that the cost at this point and only be justified if they can charge the current competitive price for DSL or cable. They can not under cut the current pricing. |
