The transmission of data over power lines has had a lot of press in the UK, a prominent voice being the RSGB, (U.S. equiv = ARRL http://www.arrl.org/) who eventually got the testing stopped. The upshot is that the technology could not provide a service without interference to other services. Check out the RSGB's comments at http://www.rsgb.org/extra/pltend.htm. It also mentions a press release on the subject ...but I could not find it ! I would hazard a guess that the same technology is being used in the U.S. but as for the comment about it being transferable to Europe.... it would not get approval ...
