I'm well aware of BPL, but most of it has gone away due to poor 
performance and signal ingress rather than egress.
Unfortunately there are "in home" systems, some of which work well and 
some "under the RADAR, cheap imports that have never been tested, or the 
product is different than what was tested that are terrible radiators 
according to reports.

.The ARRL (and others) put lots of effort in that to save us from what 
was to be "fast tracked" into use.  Another, related to a wireless 
service in the satellite down link frequencies (GPS) was being fast 
tracked with top level government backing (and lots of federal money).  
When it became general public knowledge that there was no way the two 
(GPS down links and wireless high power transmitters  of up to 40 KW) 
could coexist in the same spectrum) Those backing it had to backpedal 
quickly.

These were pet projects of about as high level in the govt as you can 
get.  It just so happens that many involved were large political 
contributors to campaigns and parties, so they were given very large 
govt grants for these projects.
