Broadband Over Power Lines Patriot-News Article Void of Real Investigation
Posted on January 15th, 2005 by Dennis Little
I found the article online at the Patriot-News site that prompted Scott Walker to respond to the editor. While the article does indeed give high hopes, it does very little to investigate the problems with BPL and glazes over the supposed “benefits” that would allegedly make the product viable vs. DSL or Cable. In what the reporter briefly writes, it is easy to see that the “tests” performed by PSU engineers are not real indicative of real-world scenarios; the engineers even admit that they ran tests “under ideal conditions”, conditions which rarely ever exist in real-world deployments.
