Google Invests in Power-Line Broadband

fsterman writes "ZDNet reports that Current Communications Group has received investment money from Google, Hearst, and Goldman Sachs for their internet over broadband ventures. The Wall Street Journal reports that the three companies invested roughly $100 million in the start-up. Current Communications and Cinergy Broadband said they will create one joint venture to bundle broadband and voice services for Cinergy's 1.5 million customers. Current also has plans to use the new investment money to expand its broadband over power line deployments in the U.S. and overseas."

I should have known this was going to turn into a debate over the technology. I've see this technology in action personally. How many of you can say that? I've also read everything I can about the technology. First off, there are NO instances of this interfering with HAM, emergency bands, or commerical radio. Most of the crap about radio antenna's and stuff is propoganda(sp?) by the likes of the ARRL, because they have this entitlement theory. I personally cannot wait till American Electric Power gets with current so I can have it at my house.
