Just like everything else.... There is a useful place for anything, somewhere.
BPL is in no way a solution to solve the world's broadband problems. But it is clearly part of the solution, just like Wireless, DSL, or FTTH. Some of the case studies here in Potomac Maryland were very successful, and in other areas just down the street, they were not. What I don't like to see is Municipal or Monopoly Subsidized approaches that bank on a single technology for the solution to a given region. There is no one-fit-all solution. I See BPL being an overlay to many areas, as another competitor to add choice and options for consumers.
