SSE calls off further PLT roll-out

At a recent IEE meeting, a representative of Scottish and Southern Energy plc (SSE) indicated that the company will not be undertaking any further rollout of PLT in the UK and is unlikely to undertake further investment in PLT
technologies.

The reasons given were the lack of progress on technical
standards for PLT systems and the commercial position in relation to the provision of other broadband services such as ADSL.

The RSGB welcomes this announcement although we are aware that investment and developments in the technology elsewhere could change the situation. At this point it is not clear whether the planned trial of PLT by the Manx Electricity Authority on the Isle of Man will go ahead.

An article by the RSGB’s PR Consultant, Jane Atkinson, on
PLT will be published in the May issue of RadCom.
