The key innovation introduced in the past few years is the ability to remotely control the devices fixed to power lines. That way it can be told to switch frequency when it meets interference.
The basic service will start at $29.95 per month, with more expensive plans offering higher speeds." - bsrome, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3Remotely accessing the units allows them to change frequency when there is interference, enabling HAM radio fanboys to keep their hobby :)
