Re: Good luck rural hopefuls

Wi-Fi can be a real rural solution, but it depends upon a geography that has line-of-sight. Some of us have too many trees. If I had an antenna on a 100 ft. mast, I could communicate with anyone else who put an antenna on a 100 ft. mast.

And that person wouldn't have broadband either.

But the observation that BPL won't help the rural users is 100% dead accurate. The distance limitations of BPL just make it too expensive to deploy.

I brought that very point about LOS up in another thread today. »BPL creates more problems than it solves

There are emerging NLOS technologies that have much more promise to solve this last mile problem than BPL does.
