"Gallagher Speech on BPL "

The link below goes to a PDF file from a recent speech by Micheal Gallagher, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. This is a good read for several reasons. In particular it clearly shows the government's view of BPL and why they are championing it.

It contains information that is hard or impossible to come by from other sources. For example, on Page 15 is a comprehensive map of current BPL deployments. There are at least 50 trials, as well as four existing commercial deployments. We hear so much about the Manassass, Virginia, installation that it's easy to get tunnel vision and fail to realize just how widespread BPL deployments are.

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
