Interesting story from AP <www.govtech.com/gt/558977> describes a push to serve rural areas with broadband by delivering it over existing power lines. This may be just what the doctor ordered.
Has BPL been tweaked so that it doesn't interfere with shortwave and ham radios any more? That was the main objection to its rollout a few years ago.
BPL blocked emergency radio transmissions, since ham operators are often broadcasting even before police, fire and other first responders. If BPL has been fixed, I'll sign up!
