The MPHPT set up the Power Line Communication Study Group in April
this year to investigate the possibilities of joint use along with
existing radio communications, with regard to increasing used frequency
bandwidth to increase speed of power line communications. The group's
report has now been announced, and has determined that, at this
stage, increasing the frequency bandwidth that is used in power
line communications would be difficult, and proposed that qualification
be put in place to implement feasibility tests in areas such as
promoting modem research and development.
