Far better than that would be if the electric companies were allowed to provide Internet service over their existing AC lines.

Every house with electricity is already wired to accept it. The only reason the electric companies aren't offering it is because the big-government/big-corporate criminal complex the cable and phone companies lobbied again$t it.

In reality, it was David (Ham Radio Operators) versus Goliath (big-gov’t/corp., etc.). When Broadband over power lines was tried at the urging of gov’t, the interference to radio communications was huge. Those power lines acted like huge antennas with spurious radiation at high levels.

This will never happen, and I will oppose every attempt to do it, as do thousands of my fellow ham radio operators in the ARRL. The potential for this to completely DESTROY the use of the HF shortwave bands has been proven, and this should not be done.
