BPL: index

Update - April 2009

The Australian Government announced its decision on a national broadband network, and in a surprise move announced its own full-blown optic fibre to the home network worth around A$43 billion. This announcement was warmly welcomed by Australian HF radio users who were fearful of a fibre-to-the-node network that would then utilise BPL tecknology to provide the broadband into the home.

Although this solution may eliminate the need for wide area BPL networks, there remains some concern over BPL technology within homes and buildings to provide broadband networks throughout the building.

This announcement would seem to bring to a close the long running objections and submissions regarding BPL betworks, so we will shortly update our website to remove the bulk of the BPL pages. However for now we retain all of the BPL information so that those unfamiliar with the issues can read through all of the relevant material.

ACREM would like to thank everyone who supported our stand against BPL.


BPL is a very touchy subject that has cause a great deal of controversy in the community, and conerns within the radiocommunications communties. In line with many of the concerns of emergency and radio groups, ACREM has also joined in the fight to protect radio frequencies from BPL interference.
