How many of us actually like to listen to our old radios?

I don't know about the USA, but I can see BPL taking off if it is introduced here in Australia (I believe there are some trials underway). While it would be sad if the interference it causes wipes out some radio reception it is sorely needed here.

Right now we are held hostage by the phone companies forcing you to bundle phone service to get broadband. This adds $20+ per month on top of whatever internet plan you choose. Being able to get broadband without having to pay for a voice line I (and many others) don't need would save a lot of money.
