The nation's first major "BPL (broadband via power line) wired city", Manassas, Virginia (see previous report), had hoped to offer speeds between 560kbps and 1Mbps via power-lines. According to this local Manassas paper however, the deal they struck with "Prospect Street Broadband" will be terminated, as the city and the company couldn't agree on how they wanted the system to work. Among the points of contention were the city's request that the support center be located locally, while Prospect wanted to support customers remotely. At the moment, some 200 users currently subscribe to the system, which should be available to every city resident by this fall.
