Well, what would you think about this package being called WLAN or WiFi?

I don't know about the popularity of Powerline in other countries, but in
Germany, Powerline is such kind of popular, a description reading "next
generation of Powerline" would be read as a "bold lie" or "a dumb upstream's
attention teaser" ;)

Just search http://www.amazon.de or http://google.de for "powerline" and you'll
see.
