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." techweb.com New Technology Tests Surfing Over Power Lines techweb.com
