The electricity board can easily become a wireless broadband provider. Their current coverage this can be real addon service to save it from loss.
With the current mesh technologies the board can set up wireless routers on electric posts. Electric posts are always in line of sight, so the range of router can be used to the max. Not every post needs a router, for 3 or 4 posts we need a router.
If they are willing to setup a small team of programmers and networking experts, they can build a custom mesh solution in 3 months time. Outsource manufacturing to China and a single router wont cost more than 1000 Rs.
tats great

This is a good thing to think.

good try
but there is a technical problem behind this idea
transferring data through the transformer is the toughest part
and the second one is the data lost due to the resistance
i guess the second one can be eliminated
but the first one still persists
many electric meter companies had a try on using this technology to get the meter reading to a main server using this power line communication technique
but they still have the difficulty is crossing the data over the tranformer

I think the point made by Mr. Jacob in this post is that the utility poles could be used for mounting wireless mesh routers. At one point he says, “…set up wireless routers on electric posts.”

it will not suitable in over head wires because bear conductors jumper is loose connections and some times sparking touching to line to line (high voltage line snapped & touching to low tension line ) at this time losing data.
