Internet through Powerlines

Yesterday i was browsing through net and found an article related to providing Internet through Power Lines. The Telecom company Comtek in Manassas,VA started providing it for $28.95 per month with the 300Kbps speed. Already Google invested 100 Million Dollars for this research with Current Communications,Maryland based company, which is a competitor for Comtek.

May be Indian Government should think of using this Powerline technology for providing Internet in Rural Areas instead of going through Fibre Optical cables. Since the Infrastructure for the powerlines already exists in most places(??!!) in India, it will be easy for implementing it
