AT&T plans to deliver fast Internet over power poles – Project AirGig

AT&T raised a few eyebrows last fall when it announced experimental technology to deliver speedy "multi-gigabit" wireless Internet over existing power lines. Now that potential solution, called Project AirGig, appears much closer to becoming reality, and has moved well beyond the experimental stage.

AT&T says it is having "advanced discussions" with power companies to begin field trials of Project AirGig in at least two locations by the fall, and if all goes well, commercial deployment could occur within 9 to 12 months. One of the trials will be in the U.S.; a second could be outside the country.
