| BURNET, Texas High-speed Internet service is
coming to about 120 homes in the Hill Country town of Burnet -- by way of
technology that carries Internet service via power lines. Broadband
Horizons provides Internet access to about six-thousand customers in rural
Central Texas. It's paying most of the estimated 50-thousand-dollar cost to
install a network in a neighbourhood of the town of five-thousand residents
about 40 miles northwest of Austin.
Once the system is in place by year end, the company says that houses will
connect by plugging a simple modem device into a wall socket.
