The Stonehaven trials are both documented on the ARRL site that I mentioned in an earlier post. Also on the ARRL site is some news of a similar trial in Holland during 2003, which was later abandoned :
NUON in the Netherlands is not going to offer its digital services through the power lines any longer. It will stop its services in the beginning of July. They have determined that the technology is too limited and that it is still not commercially attractive to offer internet services through the power lines. NUON claims that the test they performed shows that it is possible to offer internet services on a small scale. However, the technology is not ready yet for a large scale applications. One of the biggest problems is that it is very susceptible to interference. The Telecom Agency of the Dutch Government has determined through measurements that signals are too strong and cause interference to radio communications.
