replies: text: As you might know by now, the aliance is a trade association, not a standards body. The IEEE 1901 standards have now been published, but cost $390 for non members of IEEE! Groups like IEEE 802 provide theirs for free, which might be slightly corelated with how widely they are adopted, but your mileage may vary. W Nowicki (talk) 22:22, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't see how setting the password to the same setting for an entire product line is in any way secure by default. Secure by default would be setting a random password by default forcing the user to change the password when setting up thier network. Plugwash 18:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In a series of edits on 2000-08-06 and 2008-08-21 User:Dvstowe added a fair bit of content to this article.  While there is admittedly some possibly useful information contained in this text, overall I feel it has significant issues of verifiability, tone, and neutrality.  I reverted this material and contacted Dvstowe, but it was subsequently restored by an anonymous editor.   Rather than revert again I am proposing that this material be removed and perhaps small portions (e.g. AV2 and GP sections, and maybe a few other bits) re-added in a more neutral style with proper sources.  Thoughts?  --Dfred (talk) 14:24, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The alliance is developing HomePlug AV2 as the true next-generation high-bandwidth powerline standard to meet the demands of emerging consumer applications such as IPTV, multi-user gaming, multiple HDTV streams, distributed home storage systems, VIOP, and home IT networks. HomePlug AV2 also improves on whole home delivery of high bandwidth signals in homes and multi-dwelling buildings. HomePlug AV2 is fully interoperable with HomePlug AV and HomePlug GP, and will be brought into the IEEE 1901 standard once the spec is complete. HomePlug AV2 offers Gigabit speed at the physical layer and 600Mbs+ at the MAC layer. The AV2 spec. is on schedule for completion in late 2009 or early 2010 with products expected to ship in early 2011.
Updated: See here 
The new AV2 units are expected in December 2010 which are considered superior to the 1GB units which suffer from line noise.Twobells (talk) 16:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The Alliance has done its work - it got IEEE 1901 to specify this technology.  In future the IEEE standardization process will apply without any separate "Alliance" involved, so this is of historical interest at best.  Thus a merger is sensible, as the "business entity" really has no role or function other than has a group within the IEEE 1901 and IEEE P1905 standards committees. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.30.183.245 (talk • contribs) 
:I agree that the history of this organisation could be of interest to readers, though I'm not so sure that the organisation is unworthy of its own article. If deemed unworthy, it might make sense to merge it into IEEE 1901 and have this page redirect to the appropriate section of that article. Lambtron (talk) 19:41, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
