It's a 'last mile' delivery system, nothing more. The plug into the outlet thing is kind of a day late and a dollar short IMO. My desktop computers are plugged into the walls, but all of the family laptops are wireless. So it might be a hard sell to tell someone that they will just have to plug into the wall socket to get their internet, when they now don't have to connect to anything! I hadn't really considered that before but I can see where the wireless home network is going to diminish the value of "plugging into any electrical outlet" sales pitch. Many of my friends, as well as myself, have wireless networks for the laptops and desktops. BPL is going to lose a lot of ground here as by the time they get deployed, if they get deployed, will be a late entry into that game. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
