One concern I expressed to the FCC over BPL last year was about possible self-interference if BPL signals were sent to a dense neighborhood. I had concerns in my small city of 40,000, never mind Manhattan. Self-interference means at best limited bandwidth (some plans I have heard of delivered 256 kbps or even less to each house), and at worst, extreme security issues (if they are naive and not using SSL or VPN, if they use them, it's a bandwidth hit, too.)
I'm looking forward to see what happens, but I think, like the other commenters, that it will fall down and go boom.
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.
