In the U.S., BPL is no longer considered a major contender to provide "last mile" Smart Grid communications (with the possible exception of the special Echelon variant). But it could still become an alternative to WiFi for distributing signals within homes and businesses. The arrival of this stable, certified, universal standard is a long overdue step in that direction.

An IEEE working group has released Draft 2.0 of its P1901 broadband over power line standard. Publication of the draft is an indicator that the standard is as good as done, and ready for final publication and implementation.
