Are the BPL provides going to encrypt their signals? It is
possible that these bozos, thinking that there is no "significant"
leakage, are not going to do encryption.

Best tell potential users that BPL is not a secure system, and that
someone could find out your credit card numbers and such if
you order something on line.... Because it "broadcasts" that
info into the air.

It will be a shared medium, just like cable provided internet service.
As such they can implement Baseline Privacy and encrypt the downstream
to a specific modem. Don't know if it allows for encryption on the
upstream.
