Broadband over Power Line (BPL) can best be described as that "other" fixed high-speed Internet access technology--the one most consumers have never heard of. But BPL's days of obscurity may soon end, allowing the technology to join DSL and cable as a popular choice for wiring homes and businesses.
Parks Associates, a Dallas-based technology research company, predicts that the number of number of U.S. households subscribing to BPL will grow from 400,000 in 2007 to 2.5 million by 2011, an adoption rate outpacing both cable and DSL.
