I would not want to exclude they are illegal some countries, but to my 
knowledge they are perfectly legal in the all of the EU, except in some 
very rare situations.

In Germany, they are very popular, sold by millions and occasionally 
bundled with broadband connections by TelCos and CableCos.

Exactly. They are an inexpensive, less intrusive and flexible 
alternative to rewiring your home, esp. suiteable in situations when you 
don't need full bandwidth (e.g.. TVs), need LAN in rooms you haven't 
wired, or are having problems with a crowded/overloaded available 
wireless bands.
