Yes. This is a sleeper in Nortel's bag. Experiments have worked well in England. Hitch is that works on 220 lines and the 110 lines used in US are currently a bottleneck. Not fatal probably but a current problem since interrupt and slow down data movement. This could be big in world outside US where electric wires are in place. Note - much of world has no such wires. [So wireless (terrestrial and satellite) have major shot there.] Well worth following. Chaz

Lazarre,

RE: Fast internet over powerlines

I recall reading that for some reason this technology may not be feasible in N. America, or may be too expensive to implement here. But Europe looks promising. Don't know about rest of the world.

I agree that it is an interesting technology to watch and Nortel seems to be in the lead on it.

Sam
