[TenTec] Information Week Article "FCC Chairman Visits BroadbandProject"

[al_lorona at agilent.com]

It is difficult to tell exactly because of an apparent typo in the
article which power lines the BPL is on. It appears that the BPL signal
does not come down the 240 V drop into the home, but comes in through
Wi-Fi (formerly called "802.11b", the 2.4 GHz wireless LAN that can
achieve up to 11 Mbps under ideal conditions) from a nearby hot spot. 

The article is so poorly written from a technical standpoint that it is
difficult to tell exactly. 

BPL is now apparently deployed in Manassas, Virginia; Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario; Cincinnati, Ohio; and now in North Carolina. Has anybody heard
anything about the results of any of these deployments? How bad is the
interference? Have hams been able to disrupt the BPL with normal
transmissions?
