(Jul 11, 2006)
-- ARRL Laboratory Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI, will participate in an interactive audio conference, "Broadband over Power Lines: Is BPL Ready for Primetime?" Tuesday, July 11. Pike & Fischer is sponsoring the BPL event, which, for a fee, will permit individuals and groups to listen in and question the panelists. According to Pike & Fisher, the conference will explore the evolution of BPL and look into why companies like Goldman Sachs and Google have jointly invested approximately $100 million in BPL ventures. The conference agenda includes an overview of some recent BPL deployments, challenges utilities face in BPL rollouts, potential BPL applications and revenue streams, the status of standards development, existing and emerging regulations affecting BPL, and the status of efforts to alleviate BPL's potential to interfere with Amateur Radio. Joining Hare will be Chano Gomez of DS2, and Pete Griffin, chairman of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. Moderating will be Scott Sleek, director of broadband advisory services, Pike & Fischer. |
