I rather enjoyed reading about all of the startup problems in Manassas,
especially that they're going to dump Prospect Street Broadband.

Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10509] Time Magazine's BPL Power Play
Article
26 APR, 2004 - 1945 CDT
In the Bonus
Section "Inside Business" in the May 3, 2004 issue of
Time
Magazine, you will find a two page article named Power Play written
by Maryanne Murray Buechner - who lives in Manassas, Virginia.
It's
nothing more than another version of FCC Commissioner Kathleen
Abernathy's
"broadband nirvana" except there is absolutely no mention
of any of
the technical and economic down-sides to BPL. At the risk of increasing
the magazine's sales this week, I urge all of you to buy a
copy and read
this article as it will be used as the basis for supporting
BPL by the
ignorant general public and hordes of local government
officials.
