The first city-wide deployment of broadband-over-powerline (BPL) technology in the U.S. went line in Manassas, Virginia. The BPL network is operated by Communication Technologies, Inc. (COMTek). COMTek is recognized by Inc. magazine as one of the 500 fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. While having a city-wide broadband-over-powerline is a major milestone, I still think broadband-over-sewer lines is way cooler. After all, half the stuff on the Internet is crap anyway.

The "fibre to the loo" option sounds a much better option. I am curious to know whether the powerlines have wiped out FM or especially AM reception. There have been strong lobby groups in Europe worried about broadband over power lines wiping a lot of broadcast off the map
