Real Access BPL has been around much longer than this loony guy's fantasy.
The first time I'd heard of it was at a UTC Expo in 1995 I think. Some guys
in the U.K. had already done a trial by that time in the previous years. I
vaguely remember questions about interference being blown off, just as they
are today. I also remember most the engineers sitting near me thought it
would never fly here in the states. Too many vast differences in
distribution design between U.K. & U.S. Or so they thought.

More like a 'holdover idea' from the previous admins, when
the 'idea' of BPL was pushed by a huckster that few hams
(let alone many technical professionals) heard of:

The information, such as telephonic voice communication or
other data, is transmitted in the magnetic field component of
the electromagnetic radiation carried over the power transmission
line, such as by exciting the field with a MASER, in order to
enable communication between the subscribers at the various
electrical sites. The MASER provides an inverted atomic population
by pumping directly, through a Q-switch and a synthetic aperture
lens, into the atomic population of the electromagnetic wave carried
over the power transmission line to produce acoustic wave oscillation
at the appropriate atomic transition frequency. The MASER output is
transmitted within the existing magnetic flux envelope created by
the magnetic field of the electromagnetic radiation carried over the
power transmission line and the power transmission line acts as a
magnetic waveguide for the coherent magnetic frame emissions
from the MASER. Inductive coupling is used to receive the transmitted
information.
