| BPL creates more problems than it solves
There are still no standards and huge technological hurtles to overcome. And after years of development what would we end up with...something that is no better than today's DSL or cable offerings. And of course 5 years from now, cable and DSL will just be that much better.
The key is deployment of CURRENT proven technologies like xDSL, cable and WISP. For most rural communities WISP offers a real broadband (low latency high through-put) alternative. It's very cheap to deploy and very reliable (as least the 2 that I've used are). For those where WISP isn't realistic in it's current form (mountains, forest areas) NLOS is a viable emerging technology that frankly I would like to see more articles on.
BPL just creates more trouble than it's worth.

|  Excellent point about BPL it is a dead end technology.
It can barely do what it does now. The energy CEO's need to pay attention to their core job and stay out of the Digital domain. It reminds me of people with 20,000 dollar
sound systems in their automobiles, fantastic sound but the car doesn't run, and it has bald tires all around. The power companies need to fix their engines and replace their Tires.

As one of my eng prof said. "The only thing to do with a dead horse {like the proposed BPL} is to either build a status of a horse on top of it or bury it before it start to decompose. Kicking it is a useless waist of effort best spent on more usefull actions."
Its been a solution in search of a problem. They need to almost kill off part 15 to even allow it due to its JAMMING nature. It not friendly and cant move. it not like two devices you move or adjust. IE its a jammer. Plan and simple. |
