send data, video and voice over electric wires...

Our electric coop can already read the meter and detect line failures over the electric wires. They just confirm meter accuracy once a year.

Once upon a time I was an editor of a farming newspaper. One of the stories I recall was from a plastics film manufacturer who boldly proclaimed the "end" of the old farm silo..."we got these here breathable plastic bags you aggies can use instead." I scoured the county for weeks after that, looking for stacks of plastic bags. Never found a one. I'll tell my friend about the English "test."

Re Communications over power lines.

There was an extremely good discussion of this maybe 6 months ago, on the 'Last Mile' thread, which is populated by some severely technical types. The decision was that the idea is not practical. There's too much garbage on the lines, creating interference.

Best,
John
