That’s fair. The Wi-Fi problem of everyone dogpiling everything onto it, needs to be solved for. We either need to make it easier for people to use alternatives, or we’re going to continue to see growing demand for more Wi-Fi spectrum allocations that will never quite be enough.
Powerline holds promise if they can get the technology to a functional level where each household can get setup with powerline in such a way that it works adequately, and is cheap/easy for end users. then the tech industry would need to basically build the standard into power supplies. Even power units for cellphones, tablets, laptops, etc, could have powerline integrated so you’re off Wi-Fi while charging, and the power brick would operate a bit like a USB connected charging dock…
But all of this is based on an easy to deploy, consumer friendly way to add powerline networking that doesn’t suck… So far, the companies making powerline adapters have not solved that problem.
