"Having seen first hand a BPL system in operation, I am confident that 
this technology can achieve great things.  Last week I visited a home in 
Maryland, where Current Technologies has established a demonstration 
site in cooperation with Potomac Electric Power Company.  I came away 
truly impressed.  Using BPL technology, I was able to watch a DVD 
quality movie, play a highly graphical interactive video game on the 
Internet, and print pages from a news web site on a printer in another 
room � all simultaneously.  I was impressed not only with the speed, but 
also with the ease with which the home could be networked.  Simply 
plugging a device into an electrical outlet enabled it to communicate 
with the other devices plugged into outlets in other rooms, as well as 
connect with the Internet.  While I recognize that full scale commercial 
applications may not immediately achieve the speeds that I witnessed, it 
is clear this technology has significant potential.

	I wish to emphasize that the inquiry we commence today should in no way 
slow down BPL deployment.  Several companies have told me they can 
deploy BPL technology under our existing rules.  I strongly support such 
efforts.  This inquiry is meant to facilitate BPL technology."

So from their perspective it's full steam ahead! :-(
