Well keep in mind that the utility companies will have to go before the
state's public utilities commision and get their approval to raise
electric
rates to pay for internet. This could be a hard sell.

That's OK. I'm just as tired of folks blaming "conservatives" for the
world's ills. It cuts both ways. Both groups have had good ideas and bad
ideas.

Again they will have to have the approval of the state's public utility
commission and this could be difficult in some states. Just as people are
unwilling to step up to the cost of cable modems, etc for high speed
access,
they will be just as irate or even more irate at proposals to increase
electric rates.

Hello, Dee

I will absolutely agree with you that the sword cuts both ways. I am so
*darn* tired of someone saying something and everyone jumping up and down
and clapping their hands, whether BPL or weapons of mass destruction. Some
argue that it is just the old hams that are fighting BPL. My problem is
that just because the power company says it isn't interfering with anyone
doesn't make that gospel.
