Yes, it's still possible for WISPs to make a go of it in rural areas, according to Om Malik:
"There are nearly 40 broadband over power line trials going on in the
US, and of those three have gone commercial - in New York, Ohio and
Virginia. FCC is backing the technology, and equipment makers like
Current Communications Group believe that by end of 2005, there will be
equipment that can deliver 15-to-20 megabits per second of broadband
access over power lines. And yet, BPL remains a bit of an iffy, because
its too expensive and too unreliable, especially in the rural areas according to the Newark Star Ledger." |
