U.S. Gets Ready For Internet Over Power Lines

The United States may be able to supply high-speed Internet access to homes via power lines using a new
technology, which was previously deemed too
expensive for the country, according to developers on
Wednesday.

There may be partnerships with U.S. utilities as soon
as the end of the year, the developers said.

A new company has been formed to promote the
technology developed by communications technology
vendor Nortel and British utility Norweb. The
company, called Nor.Web, is owned 50 percent by
each partner. Nor.Web has already signed up 10
utility companies, mainly in Europe, to deploy its
Digital Power Line service.

"Suffice to say, we are actively working with U.S.
companies," said Steve Pusey, CEO of Nor.Web.
"We'll come back later in the year and talk more about
that."
