Internet Carried On Power Lines – "a major national milestone"

The Washington area is a major hub for technology that transmits high-speed Internet connections over power lines, and yesterday the city of Manassas celebrated becoming one of the first communities in which the service is commercially available.

Chantilly-based Communication Technologies Inc. announced it had completed citywide installation of the technology and will step up marketing it to Manassas’s 12,500 households.

"This is an achievement of a major national milestone," said Joseph E. Fergus, founder and chief executive of Communication Technologies, or Comtek, which so far has 700 paying residential customers in Manassas. He said the technology "will be deployed within two years to scores of communities across the U.S."
