They've been talking about it for years of course. I guess that it works, although I would have thought that the line losses and susceptibility to interference would be much worse than in a twisted-pair telephone cable.

I my be recalling wrong - but wasnt there somewhere in Aus or NZ that did this a couple of years ago.
Then it all went out of the window because of the hideous expense?

I seem to remember Power Gen or somebody were going to read there electric meters over the wires but not seen any more about that, probably do to costs.
