Google, Goldman Sachs and Hearst have put $100 million in a startup that will provide broadband over power lines. Very cool.
Comcast and Verizon lobbyists are joining forces to warn against this dire threat to continued human existence.

Without clicking through (because I'm lazy that way), this is interesting, given Molly Ivins' recent column about how deregulating the power industries even further is going to have dire effects. That is, if Google et al. have a stake in those lines, they'll maintain them, regardless of what the power companies do or don't do, no?
