Broadband over power lines
   April 24 - 08:37 ET  As the telecommunications industry continues to falter,
broadband connectivity across traditional
   power lines is beginning to gain momentum, according to The Washington Post.
While the task of moving data
   through electrical lines is challenging, results so far from companies working in
the field show speeds
   comparable to or greater than cable modem and DSL connections. Additionally,
virtually anyone who has
   electricity would be eligible for the service. 

Here is the Washington Post article:
