...regarding BPL.

BPL sucks.

Why use HF spectrum when there is so much other, more suitable and much
wider, spectrum available way up the bands? Between improved DSL (higher
speed, much farther, as being implemented in the UK), Cable, WildBlue
(satellite), and soon Wi-Max (35km, 56Mbps), BPL will be nothing more than a
footnote.

In the future, some of those HF users being bothered by BPL might stoop to
doing a quick 'sweep' across the bands. This would cause the BPL DSP
algorithms to think that all frequencies are in local use thus lock-out ALL
the frequency bins and effectively shut down the link for several minutes.

BPL is a REALLY stupid concept. Obviously the HF signal is going to leak
out (and other HF is going to leak in). Dumb. Power lines aren't exactly
twisted pair (close, but no cigar).

BPL has about as much future as Fractal Antennas (none).

Yes, "none".

I'm glad that we agree on this point.

If you mean that fractal antennas have no impact on your life, I take this as
axiomatic.

I repeat, I agree that BPL has about as much future as fractal antennas. I
agree heartily; both have bright futures indeed!

Didn't someone said that if you argue with idiot, you might look like one, or
it is hard to tell who is?

Guess it depends on your definition of "none". g

Don't follow...what is context?

You never were much for details, were you?

BPL has about as much future as Fractal Antennas (none).

Note the (none) at the end of the sentence, before the period.

Don't follow...are you saying that fractal antennas don't have a future? Why
would you say this?

It's a bit off topic, but if you know something I don't on this subject, it
would be a wonderful opportunity to learn. Feel free to ID and e-mail me off
NG.

Because the extant infrastructure is overly lossy at higher frequencies.

It IS extant infrastructure. Hard to argue that point, my friend.

BPL will be one of many options many folks will have, and in many cases it will
be the only and/or best one. That is why it will be successful in the United
States.

Other options are bound to capture relevant market share as well. It's a big
country and a huge market, easily amenable to several tech paths Everyone
wins! What a deal!

That is why BPL is supported by both Presidential candidates. One of the few
points both these gentlemen agree on.:-)
