>>I recently heard a report how the town of Manas [maybe incorrect spelling] 
>>in Virginia were testing a system of Broadband internet connection via the 
>>power grid. To all accounts it was successful. This would have great 
>>implications for our Australian Telstra as their copper system would not 
>>be needed. Most Australian towns are connected to the power grid ,so the 
>>inferstructure is already installed. If it is a goer then watch out 
>>Telstra shares!
>> Maybe someone in the US knows about the Manas system .
>> PS I know there is a Manasa [ The Manasa Mauler] Jack Dempsey or Was it 
>> Gene Tunney?
>> Peter Ogborne
>> Little Grove ,Albany
>> West Australia
