ARRL reports that Current has sold its Dallas, Texas BPL system to the hosting power company for $90 Million. The power company claims it will only use the system to read meters and detect outages. The system had already been configured to not use Amateur Radio frequencies, and was silent when not in use. It was not a source of interference to hams, although it might have been so to other radio listeners. I guess that BPL can't distribute broadband with sufficient speed, to enough users at once, to be economical. In their article, ARRL digs the Bush administration for identifying BPL as a "third wire" to bring network services to consumers.
