Moin Nick, I wasn't aware that RWE owned Schott. RWE is mostly known as a telco here, but they also have holdings in the electrical power industry as well, I think. I have a couple of friends who work for them. They were one of the first to have a license for that technology that allows broadband digital information to be transmitted over the powerlines. I don't think that it is available where I live, but definitely is in use in the major market areas like Berlin and Hamburg. I've read good reports about it. Schott is mostly known for their hightemp glasswear. They make stove-tops, etc..
It is a sign of the times that I have to go to a Yank newsgroup to read from a Brit about what is happening in Krautville. The Global Market, and the Global Information Age seem to be a necessary match. Cheers, Knuke Am Freitag, 13.
