how do they plan on doing that. nikola telsa rings a bell but that was when i studied magnets he did something to measure the earths magnetosphere. so im gonna guess that theyre trying to transmit power thru some kind of magnetic device which isnt a bad idea.

About 2 years ago I read about a new type of internet service that would be fairly cheap to get and bring down prices of other broadband services. Supposedly the infrastructure was supposed to be through existing powerlines, and all you would have to do in your house is plug in some kind of converter to your outlet and that would be your internet connection.
Has anyone else heard about this, and has the idea been scrapped? I havn't heard anything else about it since, just curious.

Are you reffering to this ? : Internet Access over power lines

Thanks, that's exactly what I was talking about. That article answered my questions.
