Here's the most interesting part:


At the Crowne Plaza, a guest connects the computer to the Internet through
a
modem that is plugged into a power outlet. Data is transmitted over the
hotel's electrical wiring to and from an antenna on the roof, which
communicates directly with PPL's own fiber optic network.


The data goes from a fiber optic network to the hotel's wiring? It seems
Broadband over Powerlines works best when it doesn't use powerlines!!
