I thought I read somewhere that they did it, but it was cost prohibited (too much equipment needed to bypass all of the transformers, etc). Something to do with the US power grid being completely different than power grids of other countries where BPL works great.

True in the US the average area has 2- 5 homes per step down to 220, in other areas it 10-15.

There are substantial potential problems with it. It has been tried before and failed over a variety of issues, technical, legal, and marketing wise.

I'm not sure why you are interested, but I think you might be extra careful to not count (on) that chicken until after it hatches.
