Dear Sir or Madam: I was given your address as a possible lead in helping me perform my present research. I am currently researching the technology which allows the transmission of data over power lines called Power Line Transmission. Nortel and Norweb in the United Kingdom have patented their particular version of this technology, which they have called Digital PowerLine. Unfortunately, Nortel and Norweb are being very secretive about this technology. My conclusions will be passed on to our client, which is a consortium of electrical utilities. If by chance you could help provide information on this topic, I would be extremely grateful. Sincerely, Michael Ruddy Analyst KMI Corp. Newport, RI
