Consumer Demand and Business Factors Will Drive Growth in the BPL Industry.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c49577) has announced the addition of FTTx and BPL: Analysis and Outlook to their offering.

This report analyzes market trends and significant events that will impact FTTx and BPL deployments over the next five years. It also addresses consumer and competitive pressures that will influence these methods, the economics associated with the deployment of these technologies and the opportunities FTTx and BPL provides for vendors and service providers.

"Both consumer demand and business factors will drive growth in BPL," said Chris Roden, research analyst. "On the consumer side, many rural residents don't have access to DSL or cable, but every house in the U.S. has access to power lines. This technology is often the only option for these residents to receive broadband service. On the business side, utility companies will also drive BPL's growth. BPL gives utilities more information to better manage power demand and troubleshoot line issues."

The Bottom Line is a concise, executive-level summary of the current state of the market, evolutionary path, and the implications for companies doing business in this space.
