The way it would end up in a home or business would be for the electric wall outlet to be retrofitted with a device that would allow it to operate like a network jack. Sending email through the power outlet seems a little far fetched but it is a very real possibility. You could actually send an email across your electric line. The home could have a virtual network over the Southern Highlands Power Lines in the house to allow all network devices, TV’s stereos and other devices to be interconnected in one big network. Home automation software could allow everything to be controlled by one remote and on the internet without a jumble of wires laying everywhere. The best idea for this BPL technology mentioned so far is the ability to provide broadband to rural societies who would not be able to have it any other way.
