Progress trying out fast Internet

Progress Energy might someday be more than a power company to its
customers -- it might be the Web service provider, too. The Raleigh company
is experimenting with technology that allows it to carry high-speed Internet
traffic using a combination of electric lines and wireless links. It tested
the service on about 25 computers at homes and businesses in the Wakefield
area this spring and summer with success.
