Sussex, NJ | 5GHz == Good, but where's the fiber?
BPL at 5GHz seems to be a better solution, but where's the fiber? |

| Since when does BPL, "broadband via power-lines", need fiber? |

Sussex, NJ | I didn't say that BPL required fiber. I'm saying that while 5GHz BPL is a nice idea, I think that it's just a patch, and that fiber is the real solution to the problem. |

I believe that the point he is making is that so much was invested in fiber as a means of high speed digital communication, but it is seldom mentioned anymore.  |

Not only was a lot invested in fiber, but many of the power carriers have pulled fiber along their rights of way, so using BPL as a delivery solution with wireless last mile as the article mentions is kind of a joke when they have infinitely more bandwidth using the fiber they have already pulled.
