    They've been talking about broadband over power lines for several years. I'll believe it when I see it widespread. In the meantime poor codell will have to use smoke signals for his Internet access. :)

    A few years ago, I saw that a Dallas-based company named Media Fusion figured out how to make it work. But unfortunately, the company was run by a greedy idiot who sapped all the company funding into his own pocket.
