THIRD PIPE://Minor movements around BPL, BiG and xMax

BPL: the IEEE 1901 Draft Standard is to be published early 2007. The FCC is supporting the technology.

BiG: Nethercomm claims field trials next year, but designated partners (utilities) deny. 6 Gbps brought to you for just $200 per household.


xMax: ZDNet UK witnessed a succesful trial in Florida. 4 Mbps at an 18 mile distance, supposedly NLOS too, and at tiny power usage.
