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.

I live 40 miles from a test city where they tried that with some Beta
Testers. It made the local news and everyone got all ready to jump on
the band wagon and then, nothing more was ever said about it. No News
from the Beta Testers or the power company. Its as if it never
happened??????

You would have thought that after all the big hoopla when they started
the testing that something would have made the local news Success or
Failure.

I assume it was a BIG failure with all the "Mums the Word" going on.

Anyway, It had me excited there for a while. I hope they get this
thing working because it is the ONLY hope for people in rural America
where Cable and DSL is not available and will not be available in the
near future if at all.
