Courtesy of Coy Day's favorite constituent, Bill Smith, W5USM, I've
learned about a pretty good article describing BPL
at
published by the Edison
Electric Institute. There's a sidebar near the end describing the four
parts of a broadband network: the last mile, the ISPs, the middle mile, and the
content providers. The "dark fiber" mentioned by Dick is the "middle
mile."
The article devotes five paragraphs to radio
interference. We might quarrel with some of it, but it certainly puts anyone
reading the article on notice that radio interference is a real
issue.
