many of the homes that will be serviced by the BPL - wonder why they don't
just scrap the interference causing BPL and use the cable??
Anyway, a recent decision in Europe on emission standards that will affect
BPL has been made to the contrary of what BPL industry wanted. They wanted
legislators to consider things like shortwave, amateur radio, 4WD networks,
etc, etc as "less important" and therefore the BPL provider wouldn't need to
concern themselves with any interference that these services suffered. They
failed! Legislators didn't agree and retained interference protection for
radio users..
As other countries like Australia and USA usually adopt the same (or
similar) guidelines as adopted in the EU, I'm guessing that the BPL industry
here in Oz are scrambling for their spin doctors and submission forms....

Not to mention the fact that they have to run a cable to feed the BPL past"Tsunami" <glen.oriley@gocconline-dot-com> wrote in message

But I know Telstra would fight it 100%..
Because at the moment, everyone who has fixed Broadband access point,
Has to HAVE a Telstra Phone line to the house, and pay rent on that,
This system would mean a lot of users, like me, would dump our home
phones,
and use our mobiles and the power point for BPL.!!

Actually, incorrect. There IS another way, called wireless internet
granted although that wireless is only working in built up areas at the
moment.
And a third way which involves having Optus broadband and phone line,
therefore no Telstra payment.
Granted not in all areas, just like ALL broadband options.
Just how far they will be able to transmit at 200Mbs over standard power
lines is another matter though. How it is affected by sub stations and
pole
transformers would be interesting to know. These things are optimised for
50Hz after all.
Just imagine, some homes will soon have Telstra 2 pair, Telstra cable, and
Optus cable running past their house, and ALL of them unused. Isn't
competition such a wasteful process
