[aprssig] It's Baaack BPL - Broadband Over Powerlines

[Mark Cheavens]

Ev,
Not true.
A. Cell get the power inductively from the lines.
B. Site to site is using the power lines as 60g waveguide
C. Site to home/business endpoint is via 5g.

Without the "wires" they would not have the 60g waveguide, nor would 
they have a source for inductive power.
