EarthLink, Con Ed to pilot BPL in Manhattan by Wendy Blake EarthLink will begin providing Internet service over Con Ed's power lines in Manhattan in the next several months, following an FCC vote last week to set new ground rules for commercial deployment of the service. Con Ed, EarthLink and technology services company Ambient Corp. are signing agreements with apartment building owners to pilot the service. Con Ed also plans to use broadband over power lines, or BPL, to run diagnostic tests on its system and manage residential power load.
