[geeks] Google invests in BPL

[Geoffrey S. Mendelson]

To the hams on this list:

From: http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3518341

(also available from other sources)

"Google, Goldman Sachs and the Hearst Corporation have
ponied up a combined $100 million to invest in Current Communications
Group, hoping to rapidly expand the reach of broadband throughout the
country."

"Current Communications, a Germantown, Md.-based company providing
broadband over power lines (BPL), said the investment would offer
consumers a faster alternative outlet for voice, video and data
services."

So it seems we have a choice between ham radio and Google.

73,

Geoff.
