At long frickin' last

It's been a long enough time coming, but it looks like boradband over power lines is finally going to become a reality.

It's been hanging around in parts of Cincinnati for a while, but it's only been available in the Hyde Park area (go for it, Achilles).

The major benefits of the boradband over the power lines is that the broadband service comes into every power outlet in your house. All that you'll need will be a modem on the power cable of your computer, and you'll be able to use the internet from any outlet in the place.

Think of the savings for a large business that wants to rewire their system - no more laying cable throughout the place. Instead, it's a single adapter as power comes into the building and then one plug-modem for each computer.

It'll be cool, folks.
