With support from the US government and the FCC, ongoing resolution of technology problems, the development of global standards, major equipment suppliers entering the market, and over 100 trials around the country some of which are becoming commercial, BPL is poised to become a major new entrant to the US telecommunications market. In particular, BPL is likely to play a role in areas underserved by DSL and cable. However, the case for BPL is being driven not only by the increasing demand for triple play services, but also by energy efficiency requirements. Global warming is placing increasing pressure on utilities to increase energy efficiency, thereby driving development of ‘smart meter’ and ‘smart grid’ technology which would utilise BPL networks. Nevertheless, a number of technological hurdles face the BPL industry and global standards need to be finalised before large scale deployments will eventuate.
