The latest projections for Broadband over Powerline see the U.S. market growing 106 percent annually during the next six years.
The Irish analytical firm Research and Markets has a new report out predicting that BPL's share of the total U.S. broadband market will grow to 13 percent by 2012, with an impressive one-third of all new customers choosing BPL.
BPL is a fledgling but closely watched technology that delivers broadband Internet over power lines, opening the door for a new revenue stream for electric utilities. Technological and regulatory hurdles, however, have bogged down BPL's growth rate.
