Obviously there will be some markets where BPL does well, and others where it
won't.


But for a few vocal hams to try to kill a new technology only focuses the
spotlight back on us, as, in fact, it has this past Summer and Spring (for
example, the front page Wall Street Journal article). And that focus makes us
look antiquated and silly to the outside world.


Speaking of news articles chew on this one Chipster:

So no, I'm not horribly worried about BPL running on the lines around
here. Us "Luddites" who have been proactive in the fight against BPL
have realized for a long time that it's business model is
fundamentally unworkable and that it's very likely gonna be another
dot.bomb. Like any number of the recent-era "marvelous new
technologies" which went down the pipe when the bubble popped.
