cant find any reference to Freedom Online and FDD, as stated in the wireless section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.122.11.131 (talk) 05:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

As a follow up, as of 26 June 2008 (over a year later), "Freedom Online" does not appear to exist. References will be eliminated. phrawzty (talk) 09:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Broadband over Power Lines[edit]

The current article pushes BPL as a very superior technology that is being delayed by the established market players. This is not true. There are several technological barriers to BPL that may never be resolved.

Namely: The naked electric cables traveling over the air (on posts) are subject to interferences and broadcast a lot of noise. The ramifications of the powerline network cause reflections that harm the signal. Transformers, relays, transistors, and rectifiers block or degrade the signal.

The investment necessary to overcome these obstacles with the current technology would be enormous. Therefore, without several technological breakthroughs, this technology is at a disadvantage to DSL, Cable, and the emerging wireless standards.

BPL will most likely never reach mainstream acceptance. If anyone has the time to verify my claims with good sources and correct the article, it would be a great improvement to a very unbalanced text. edit: All these parts pushing BPL were added by a single user (142.177.8.48). --nunocordeiro (talk) 13:58, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Came here to note this as well. The article is currently FULL of pro-BPL talking points. Even if they are true as stated (which I am skeptical of), they belong in Broadband over power lines, not here. I don't think there should necessarily be any mention of BPL in this article at all, since a BPL "triple play" is not really something that exists.

Name[edit]

Should state the obvious, that the name comes from the triple play of American baseball. Is it even used outside of North America? But like most everything else in this article, that would be original research without a citation! W Nowicki (talk) 19:30, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
