Two texas companies will soon be building a network to allow them to deliver broadband internet over power lines (BPL).
The companies estimate that roughly 2 million homes and businesses in northern Texas will be able to subscribe to the new service when the network is complete. Current Communications–which has built a similar network over Cincinnati’s power lines with local utility company Cinergy–will design, build and operate the new broadband network. Deployments will begin in 2006, the companies said.
