they've been promising this technology for years, but it still has yet to pan out. the amount of noise that exists on a power line is insurmountable. turn on a light, a hair drier, a microwave... you'll have all the same problems that IP based networks have with diplaying video - delays, dropped packets, cross-traffic issues, in a nutshell... no QoS.
these guys are all in a lab using canned setups with no real world experience. I bet you can easily double their come-to-market date once they start trying to beta test in homes.
