Hi, thanks for the post.

enikia.com
This company looks like it is part of the solution.
So far only suitable for the home.
What is your take on them for ELON?
homeplug.org

>>>
Be cost-competitive
Use the home's existing powerline
Offer high-speed connectivity at Ethernet-class data rates
Allow consumers to connect PCs and other devices conveniently, at any power outlet
Coexist peacefully with already-popular devices that use residential power lines to communicate (including X-10, CEBus and LonWorks)
<<<<<
How common are X-10 and CEBus?

Thanks Gary

Excellent writing Spiral.

I was pleased to see "Microsoft applauds the HomePlug Powerline Alliance in its efforts to create standards that will help make the digital home a reality."

A few months back, Echelon trademarked "Digital Home" and posted it on their website.
echelon.com

They are way ahead of us.
