Fewer Than 5,000 Broadband Over Powerlines Subscribers

Following the story earlier in the week about the death of broadband over powerlines , Broadband Reports points out that even by the FCC's "stunningly meaningless" broadband stats (that tend to inflate access claims), BPL only has 4,776 subscribers . This for the technology that it declared as "the great broadband hope" five years ago. So, once more, with feeling: broadband over powerlines is dead. It's not a serious option.
