If they didn't insist on such a high data rate, the problem would be lessened, because the sending power could be reduced. For the vast majority of PLT applications, a high data rate is not necessary. It's just the marketing people insisting on being able to claim 200 bigabits per jilisecond. This is made worse by the consumer interest people firing up unrest over broadband data rates. Most people simply don't need the maximum capacity their service can offer under best conditions. > >Did anyone say good craftsmanship ? I can't say I've ever heard that word in the context of PLT.
