"SI Classic" This is an old post of mine from years ago but if you read today's WSJ, frontpage of the Marketplace section, you would see its relevance today.

MAnet Gmbh and MRV

MAnet is also a Terescope and Optiswitch shop and so MRV is essentially providing a core to home solution here. While their initial steps are small with only 40k potential customers, if MAnet is serious and has the capacity to rollout the service across Germany, this could be the start of something really big.

And they aren’t alone in this IP over the powerline effort in Europe;

Internet access via power lines reborn in Europe

Elsewhere in Germany, MVV Energie AG (www.mvv.de), which recently had completed a 200-customer pilot with M@in.net, in March (2001) announced plans to launch powerline commercially with the vendor by connecting 3,000 users in the city of Mannheim. The city has an advanced fiber optical network, which means MVV needs only to install inexpensive modems at outdoor grid substations and equip customers with small indoor modems. MVV also has formed a 50/50 joint venture, Power Plus Communications AG (PPC), with M@in.net for exclusive rights to bring powerline to Germany and Austria.
