Brasilia - The National Agency of Electrical Energy (Aneel) approved today (25) the regulation allowing the use of electric power network for transmission of broadband Internet access. With the system, known as PLC (English, Power Line Communications), the houses are taken to be points of network, when connected to a modem.
Aneel established that the use of this technology can not compromise the quality of electricity supply to consumers and, if necessary network investment, the cost will be the responsibility of the telecommunications company. Networks can also be used to bring TV to consumers.
According to the regulation adopted today, the power utilities should establish a subsidiary company to offer the service. The agency also provides that the revenue obtained by the power utilities with the rent for the wireless Internet companies will revert to the reduction of electricity rates.
Aneel ensures that the use of technology will enable new uses for the distribution networks of electricity, without the need of expansion or adequacy of the infrastructure already exists. It said the economy should represent a cost savings to consumers.
Access to broadband internet through the electrical grid had been approved by the board of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) and was put to public consultation by Aneel for 90 days.
