If you know where this is all explained in depth and well documented, please
point me in that direction.


I don`t know the details, but here in Europe several pilot projects
were basically stopped and several larger companies got out of that
technology again, after trying to hype it for several years.

I do not know if this is due to unreliability or due to other factors,
but it *seems* to have worked better in the lab than in the real world.
If enough problems make it too unreliable and/or expensive, this might
be the easiest way out.

I wonder if the lab has defective transformers that spew out rfi? I
wonder if the lab regulary simulates lightning strikes on the lines
carrying BPL? I wonder if the labs simulate the sometimes awful
antiquated power lines that the signal would have to go over?
