The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners
(NARUC)
Formed in December 2003, NARUC's task is to "explore the potential for
deployment of Broadband over Power Lines and, in particular, the State
commission role in advancing use of this technology"
NARUC has recommended that the State commissioners take the time to learn
about BPL technology, its trials, deployments, successes and failures.
"For over a year, since its inception in 2003, the National Association of
Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) Broadband over Power Lines (BPL)
Task Force has been meeting to examine the State commission role in
advancing the use of BPL technology. Today, the Task Force held an
information session to discuss the preliminary results of its meetings as
outlined in a 42-page report released this afternoon. A summary overview of
that report as well as how to obtain a copy from the Internet is on the
attached fact sheet. "
