I've been reading up on the frenzy to pump the internet and HDTV
through the power lines. It's already been successfully done in
Virginia, and other test areas.

This technology is going to do away with phone lines and cable lines.

Now, are we going to have to slap an anti-trust suit on the power
company

AND IT'S ABOUT TIME THE IDIOTS PUSHED THE INTERNET THROUGH THE POWER
GRID

Many (most?) of the technologies for implementing BPL create intolerable
interference to existing radio communications services, including even
police and other emergency services. And your Internet connection could
be wiped out by legal transmissions by existing licensed users.

what was anyone ever thinking to pay ma bell $100.00 a month for a home
and business line... a dedicated fax line etc.

it's crazy!

And do you think your power company will give away this Internet
connectivity for free?

at last! cheap high speed internet

In which your personal data gets broadcast over a wide area, not just
within a short distance from your existing home WiFi system.

HO HUM FOR VERIZONS FIBER OPTICS.. verizon has been furiously laying
fiber optics across the country... they shoulda saw this technology
coming.
all that money wasted

Fiber Optic systems neither create nor are susceptible to RF interference.

internet over the power grid should come in around 2.5 gb per second.

if you can plug in a lamp, you can get high speed internet.

Tell the utility companies and the manufacturers of BPL equipment to
come back when they've managed to repeal the laws of physics.
