Bytes of Power

Another great link from Sciencedaily.com Here we find that two scientist show (more below) that power lines can carry more digital data than DSL. If true, that's a great boon to everyone, especially people who live in rural areas where DSL or cable modems aren't available.

The tests, though, were models that the scientists ran. Now, models are fine as far as they go, but the real test is actually doing it and testing how much data can be transmitted. Any model is limited, but an operational, real, test will show what this technology can do. I'm looking forward to seeing that done!
