I haven't been following MoCA, and it seems like there still aren't many
products out there. There might be a future in it, but it seems to me
that Homeplug (networking over home electrical lines) has a few big
advantages as a no new wires technology, especially (1) the wires are
in every room, (2) it's here now, and (3) it's pretty cheap. To me, #1
is a tough one to beat because I have exactly two rooms wired with coax
(for tv and internet), compared to every room (and even the backyard)
wired with electrical outlets. Someone whose whole house is already
wired with coax would likely see things differently.
Of course, the big advantage of MoCA would be the throughput capacity.
Verizon is offering FIOS in some areas, but I don't know if they're
into MoCA at all.
Don't put too much stock in my views though. I once thought HomePNA,
which uses phone lines, was going to take off much more than it did
(which was not at all).
