That is not exactly what the Technology News has to say
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/37378.html
They basically say it doesn't look promising as a business model and
the infrastructure isn't in place to use it yet, except for a few test
sites. It's inefficient, expensive to install, and is least likely to
serve the sparsely settled rural areas for which it's being touted.

If all the consultants had got info right--especially the ones who love to talk
in the press-- then you and I would probably be using technologies that died
miserably, which they touted as god's gift..

It's a big market and there are lots of ways to play. BPL has a good shot and
will undoubtedly have a worthwhile niche.

As someone who deals with business cases--daily--I find it suddenly amusing
that many hams--present company aside-- think they know anything much about it.
I can't wait to hear conversations on 75M about 'entry barriers' and 'crossing
the chasm' and 'risk management'. Sure beats 'how's the weather?'
