Broadband Power Line
Speaking of Google, the company just made an investment in Current Communications. As the name suggest, this company offers broadband over power lines (BPL). Cinergy, ConEd and Duke Power are also looking into BPL. As if the baby bells (SBC, VZ, BLS) didn’t have enough trouble from the Cable Companies (CMCSA, CVC). Should the electric utility players roll out BPL in mass, look for even cheaper broadband and thinner margins at the regional bells.
