Art Bell to discuss BPL on C-to-C AM TONIGHT (??) 3/20/04
 

Hello, Mark

Interesting. I didn't pay for installation or activation. Certainly, I pay
for service. I *love* that statement about no need to pay service fees.
Yepper, it's gonna be free! Just plug and play.

Why don't I believe that? Why do I get the feeling that there will be
charges? I also *highly* doubt it will service places outside of cities and
suburbs.

As far as plug and play, when I fire up on HF, it's gonna be plug and pray
LOL.

FOUND THIS IN ALT.FAN.ART.BELL - NOT CONFIRMED

No need to pay hundreds of
dollars in installation, activation/deactivation and service fees for
Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) or cable modems, just literally plug and
play.

Fans and supporters of BPL include the Federal Communications
Commission, Power Line Communications Association and local utility
companies. Since power lines are available in urban and rural areas,
while DSL and cable services are limited or inaccessible in some
sparsely populated areas, BPL is anticipated to be a major challenge to
the existing methods of high-speed access.
