John Dvorak, one of the best known technology columnists, which has been covering the PC and CE industry since the 80's, has recently published a short column in PC Magazine called "HDMI: Who Needs This Aggravation?", in which he provides his view of the G.hn standard and how it will fix the problem of a fragmented powerline networking industry.
John talks about past problems in the powerline industry ...
Here comes the latest iteration of power-line networking. It's the 1-Gbps G.hn now promoted by the HomeGrid forum. This time it may all come together. Until now a slew of incompatible technologies have been working against each other, thus preventing any real traction with home power-line networking.
...about how G.hn will unify the powerline, phoneline and coax networking markets...
The HomeGrid Forum and the ITU (International Telecommunications Union), the official developers of the G.hn standard, hope to unify all the technologies before year's end. [...] The HomeGrid folks will not only fix the power-line issues but hope to consolidate all wired networking from coax to Ethernet under the same unified umbrella, somehow.
... and about Intel's role in the development of G.hn:
G.hn should make home networking more ubiquitous, allowing for HD media distribution and home automation. Intel is all over the G.hn scene in hopes of selling its chips [...]
