| When will they learn?? When will ATT learn?? They keep going in to BB areas only to fail, or lose money? They just don't seam to have a good grasp of what it takes.

| It will be viable about the same time they get the bugs work out of the Cat/Toast/Butter Anti-Gravity engine. Same principal of bending physical laws to get something that is improvable to work.
The idea of fibering a town or out to remote locations make a lot more sense than this. Kind of like delevering water via the power lines. Could do but makes no sense. | |

Well, if you talk to Professor Frink, you would realize the secret lies in the pickle matrix...
Hah! SERIOUS scientists have long since debunked the pickle matrix theory. The only TRUE progress being made is with the laser/whipped cream combine. Plebian. | |

| BPL is not a failed technology, AT&T is a failing company. As for BPL's problems, only one 'poster child' complaint was filed resulting in the indefinite discontinuation of a VERY SMALL trial area, and that was only due to the fact that the BPL grid had drawn a line all the way around a ARO's broadcast site. Also the company investing failed to see the grid problems before trial roll-out, that's the whole purpose behind a TRIAL anyway for those who missed that definition while looking through the dictionary in Elementary School.
BPL is a viable communications medium that just needs the right grid to operate on and the right engineers fixing the problems as they roll out.

|  wouldnt it be cheaper
Just think - if they wired the city with fiber, they can offer 100Mbits to 10Gbits service without a truck roll. | |

| The STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard... Instead of doing this crap with powerlines, why not just drop a fibre line?
WE WANT FIBRE!!
See: »100Mbps for $41?
Don't you feel jealous? | |

Toledo, OH | Re: The STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard... because they want to spend and lose money. by trying to show off something at this time they know they cant. Fiber will make them money. And AT$T doesnt wanna do that.
They'll slowly close them selves or run them seleves in to Chapter 11 | |

| Re: The STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard... when will ATT learn, the purchase of the northpoint assets which went to the toilet basically. They could not do anything with the DSLAMS and all other equipment already picking up dust. That is huge money wasted and now they are investing in BPL, come on now. Come one ATT people you have already the fiber optic cables bypassing people's homes and business underneath the ground. Why not route those fiber cables to people's home.;) | |

Toledo, OH | Re: The STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard... They just could turn on the NorthPoint DSLAMS if they havent sold those. Which doesnt make sense is why they wholesale their DSL services from other companies when they already own alot of DSLAMS unless they sold them off or trashed them. | |
