MANASSAS, VA. (October 5, 2005) - The 37,000-person Washington, D.C. suburb of Manassas, Virginia, is now home to a major national success story in broadband access: the first city-wide commercial deployment of broadband-over-powerline (BPL) technology anywhere in the United States, according to Communication Technologies, Inc. (COMTek), the Chantilly, Va.-based “Inc. 500” company that owns and operates the BPL network in Manassas. BPL technology uses the electricity grid in a city and the wiring in individual homes to provide direct “plug in” broadband access through electricity sockets, rather than over phone or cable TV lines.
