Germany powers up the internet through electrical grid network

摘要

Powerline technology - where high-speed internet access arrives through electricity cables rather than phone lines - is coming to Germany. Germany is the world's testing ground for powerline technology, and plans to roll out the new service in some areas. The Germany's Bundesrat - upper house of parliament, paved the way for electricity companies to offer the new technology. The decision is welcomed by electricity distribution companies such as RWE, but mav pose a threat to telecomrncompanies such as Deutsche Telekom.
