Looks like we have a new way of getting the internet coming to our homes very soon. Its called Broadband Over Power lines – BPL. It looks pretty interesting, and could possibly *hopes* bring the cost of internet service providers down.
We’ve been using this new internet over our home power-lines in my house here in Toronto since January. Its pretty cool all you need is a router and these boxes to transmit and receive the information. We didn’t have to run any wires or anything. Nor do we need to worry about someone leeching off a wireless network. Its great.
Lets hope we see this in Canada sometime soon.
