I know this is off topic, but it seems that most hams are oblivious
to this. Please pass this on to as many people as you can.
From: http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3518341
(also available from other sources)
"Google, Goldman Sachs and the Hearst Corporation have
ponied up a combined $100 million to invest in Current Communications
Group, hoping to rapidly expand the reach of broadband throughout the
country."
"Current Communications, a Germantown, Md.-based company providing
broadband over power lines (BPL), said the investment would offer
consumers a faster alternative outlet for voice, video and data
services."
So it seems we have a choice between ham radio and Google.
