I just read in a Wall Street Journal in our breakroom that Cinergy, Cincinnati’s power utility, is going to start offering internet access comparable or better than cable/DSL to folks in Cincinnati.

This is fantastic.

I don’t want cable, so getting a cable modem doesn’t make sense. I don’t need a telephone land line, since Stacey and I have cellphones. But I have to have one to get internet access in our home. But if it were available through the electrical outlet… that’d be sweet. Ditch the landline totally.

Unfortunately, it may be a fair amount of time away. They’ll be targeting rural areas that don’t have cable/DSL options first, before moving into the big cities.

I’ll just bide my time.
