You just have GOT to wonder why...
"Smart mosques" that have very high-speed internet access via BPL (Broadband Over Powerline) on the very cheap.
“This project will offer 60 million users unlimited high speed Internet connection of 224Mbps (megabits per second) at a cost of only around RM5 (US$1.58) per user per month, which is the fastest and cheapest in the world,” he said.
Yeah, it is.
Slashdot puts it into perspective:
To add some perspective, in the US Verizon FiOS currently offers up to 30 Mbps downloads and 5 Mbps uploads starting at $42.99 a month. BPL modems use existing electrical power lines to deliver high speed Internet access and data transmission.
CC Lakeshore pays less than that per month for our DSL service, but even still...I want über-cheap Broadband Over Powerline...
{{insert petulant pout here}}

Something just doesn't hit me right about this... can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's that they are connecting mosques. Maybe it's the fact that there appears to be no viable business plan for this. Maybe it's that we don't have all the details. But something isn't quite right...
