All participants of the trial will receive broadband Internet, as well as integrated Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services from local vendor engin, but a limited number will also be testing a video on demand service from an as-yet unnamed partner.

"engin and Mitsubishi Electric engineers have worked closely together in both Australia and Japan to incorporate engin’s VoIP technology in the 200Mbps BPL product developed by Mitsubishi," said a statement from the VoIP vendor on the trial.

BPL technology is being scrutinised and supported by most of the IT heavyweights including Motorola, Cisco, Intel and even Google.

There isn't a single example of BPL causing real, scientifically-verifiable interference," said Country Energy's manager of telecommunications enterprises Geoff Fietz.

A small BPL technical trial by his company had only generated one complaint, he said, which had turned out to be a problem unrelated to BPL.

"The result of all the research has been that Country Energy doesn't believe there is any issue," said Fietz.

A spokesperson for Aurora said they had visited an amateur radio operator's residence in Tasmania but had not detected any significant interference.
