Hi Bengrahamman, >>is it a fact that power lines can't supply the high speed potential? I used to live on a street with twelve homes and six power transformers (one per pair of homes). For a given speed, BPL per home cost is heavily affected by the number of transformers to be bypassed. Most European residential power drops use a cable constructed of three conductors and a shield, allowing more high frequency energy. >> could they theoretically hook into an optical backbone. The problem isn't a backbone connection, it is the optical fibers in the strength elements are of unknown quality, as they may be twenty years old, and carrying kilobit SCADA. Much like US West installing DSL and discovering bridge taps in the field, not in the documents. >> could there be a synergy b/w UTes (power cos) and telcos or cable operators? Based on what? different operating models, service models, different billing. Same Utility Commissions, same lawyers. >> all hypothetical questions, which need not be answered. just throwing some stuff out there. The D2 BPL success in Spain does not translate to here. petere
