Link quote:IBM is partnering with a Texas utility to deliver broadband over power line (BPL) technology in the Houston area, joining the small but growing number of companies rolling out high-speed Internet service using standard home and business wiring. CenterPoint Energy and IBM are collaborating their efforts at a Houston technology center run by the power provider. At the technology center, CenterPoint has started a pilot program designed to demonstrate the capabilities of BPL in the home. BPL technology is touted as a way not only to provide broadband access to areas lacking DSL or cable connections, but also to improve power service and reliability. Using a BPL modem, consumers can plug a computer into any home or office outlet and receive high-speed access. "With more bandwidth available, utilities can improve their delivery systems through the development of smart grid technologies, such as automated meter reading, real time system monitoring, preventive maintenance and outage detection," said Raymond Blair, vice president of broadband over power initiatives at IBM. That, in turn, significantly reduces costs and increases efficiency for the power providers, he said. And for consumers, BPL can be the only option for consumers living in areas not served by phone or cable companies. "Everyone has electric power, but that's not necessarily true with DSL or cable," said Blair. Among the possible BPL-based services are Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Video on Demand (VOD), home environment management and security monitoring. Big Blue will help CenterPoint manage its BPL rollout, with equipment provided by Idacomm, Amperion, Broadband Energy, Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO - news), Itron, Mitsubishi and PCPC, among others. Choosing a Texas market makes sense, said Yankee Group analyst Nicole Klein, as that state is supporting the introduction of BPL service. "It's a large state, but the population is not as concentrated as in some other areas, so it is a prime candidate for this technology," she said. This technology is being used today in Europe and other parts of the world. In the U.S., BPL providers include Current Communications, which last week announced investments from Internet search leader Google (Nasdaq: GOOG - news), communications conglomerate Hearst and financial services firm Goldman Sachs. CenterPoint's pilot program, in which up to 50 residents can participate, will run through the end of August. IBM has tapped a wide array of energy industry and technology experts, as well as leading hardware and software vendors, for the project. "We are committed to using technology innovation to help our customers and to bring more benefits to consumers," said Blair. "BPL greatly extends the barriers of the Internet for all users."

Well anything is possible. He has said before he wanted to do 7-9 as originally intended.
