It has just come up that iPlayer raised traffic significantly and ISPs complain
about excessive utilisation (well, overflow). This was predicted some time
ago, so maybe they should experiment with using other cabling systems?
Microsoft, failing to make much money in the software business nowadays
(Office being the exception), began investing in power lines as a channel. It
actually tried many things including services and hardware (IBM's mid-life
crisis/transition comes to mind) in order to survive, but I seem to be going
off-topic anyway...
