[Antennas] BPL

(Playing the devil's advocate here.......)
BUT do you fly into rural areas? No, you fly into major
airports.....then travel to a metro area....
Big difference IF BPL was used as it was to be intended....but since the
idea of rural users was a farce to justify its planning and
rollout/testing, you're right on it not being worth the
investment....HAD BPL been used AS intended, rural America would be
static city soon! (But then the cost of putting it in out in the
"boonies" (no pun intended!) will make it not worth the effort
there....EVERYONE in telecom knows wireless for the last mile or so from
a FIBER connection is the cheapest and fastest way to go in rural AND
metro areas ;)
