I've been long on this for a while. Their products have already been used in some Con Edison facilities but I'm waiting for that big break.

I've been watching this sector for some time. BPL is interesting but not a slam dunk yet. I live in a rural area and would love to have broadband at a reasonable price. No DSL or cable available here. Satellite is a joke. But wireless is very close.
It seems to me that the power companies could provide wireless at a lot less cost and aggrevation than BPL. They already basically have 'towers' everywhere and power is a given.
But I will continue watching BPL for trading opportunities.
