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. Ultimately, the company hopes to let consumers regulate their electricity usage--control their air conditioners, for instance--via the Internet.

My son is a networking and PC engineer here in Iowa working on expanding WiFi (Hot Spot) systems.

I've already suggested that he and his boss dig into this technology ASAP - and get a jump-start on the competition.

John :-)
