I don't think the worst case scenerio, thousands of miles of HV power
distribution wires carrying high speed digital signals, was ever practical.
There's interference, there's unpredictable reflections and, even in the
most optimistic case, the available bandwidth won't split among alot of
users and still be high speed.

There are other approaches which promise to cause much less interference,
although I think the real motovation is to minimize BPL's vunerabilities:

Won't WiMax accomplish the same thing more cheaper?

The propaganda today is much more insidious.

To my knowledge, no one here has denied that, or even offered an
opinion on it one way or the other.

How many times a year do we need to see this same freaking post???

The answer is NO.

I'm sure stamp collectors are laughing at it as well...

I was hoping for some interesting responses to an issue very relevant to
this newsgroup. Thanks Brian but have you anything more to say?

Just last night I was lamenting the shift of the old HF RTTY Newsagency
services to satellite then the Internet. It's possible to now receive or
download 10 or 100 times as much information in the same period of time, but
it just isn't as much fun!

Same goes for getting news via the Web, or with the new RSS feeds. I'm
getting tons more news than ever before, but it's now becoming WORK to
sift through it all for the interesting stuff.... sigh

I don't think Shortwave is dying at all, neither is ham radio. There
are still a lot of places on this old planet where the Internet is still
not readily available, so for news and entertainment the shortwave
receiver is still pretty much the only method of delivery. Same goes
for some places where the government is restrictive in what it will let
the people see in their regular media, or even on the Internet -- China
is actively filtering access to the Web within that country, for
example.

There may be less discussion about it here on the 'Net but that's not a
very accurate indicator of the medium worldwide. The people who depend
on shortwave are the same people who either don't have access to the
Internet or who are restricted in what they can get to on the 'Net by
their government, hence they don't get into the discussions on RRS
here....

(Stamp collecting may be in a bit of a decline, but that's a subject for
a different news group.)
