BPL progresses slowly and quietly in north Texas

Oncor in the Dallas / Fort Worth area continues to implement BPL without much fanfare, seeming to be contented with and automated meter reading system for now..
Oncor’s BPL network, which the company is building with Current Communications, now covers 106,000 homes. Oncor has installed so-called smart meters at 61,000 of those homes, allowing the electricity company to communicate directly with those meters at any time.
The reaminign question to be answered is when and if broadband service will be made publicly available on the system.
