What Is BPL (Broadband Over Power Line)?

Saturday October 8, 2005
| Reference | Broadband over Power Line - technology makes possible high-speed Internet access over ordinary residential electrical lines. BPL offers an alternative to DSL or cable broadband Internet services, but it has proven controversial and not been widely deployed as yet. Considered more suitable for rural areas, BPL also has been deployed in some residential districts, including this week the first city-wide BPL rollout in Manassas, Virginia.
