guys, every one that thinks BPL might be a good thing, needs to remember last week. do ya really want yer internet to be subject to the same failure rates as power lines? or yer phone.
attractive as bpl might seem, the blackout stuff will put it back on hold, yet again.
however, this is not to say that we, as a group, should not be looking for somewhere else to place ourselves. that is always just good forward thinking.
