Broadband through Power Lines (BLP)
Stop all the kerfuffle about Internet access ... just bring in BPL!
Broadband through Power Lines ... aka Powerband ... is an extension of Power Line Communications (PLC). This uses everyday electricity systems to carry massive amounts of high speed communications along the same cables as the power.
Probably 90% of Australia is on some sort of mains power. All you need is a kind of set top box decoder ... just plugged in the wall ... and you can receive telephone, broadband, fax, cable tv ... anything, two ways, instantly. The system would require major transmitters at power junctions, but not as complex as telephone exchanges.
This is real and has already been tested in Tassie. It's just there are a lot of very big interests standing in the way. To bring in BPL and PLC into Australia ... the ideal market ... would take a government with real steel to face up to the communications giants.
