Broadband over Powerline (BPL) commercial trial in Tasmania

Further to my post here in July about Google investing in a broadband over Powerline (BPL) company comes news that the world’s first large-scale trial of BPL technology began in Tasmania yesterday. BPL technology uses existing power lines and offers Internet access through every electrical power outlet in connected premises. Users plug a modem into the power outlet to connect to the Internet.

The large scale Tasmanian trial covers fast Internet access, VoIP and video delivery.

The Aurora website had details of their offering.

BPL shrinks the traditional supply chain for news and information and makes it more widely accessible. It provides a left field competitor to traditional communications infrastructure suppliers. While BPL has attracted plenty of criticism, the potential for consumers and content providers is enormous.
