One of the three companies participating is developing a standard for sending high speed Internet traffic of power lines is operating on a skeleton staff as it struggles to find addition sources of funding. Inari, which was formed in January 1997 when Novell spun-off the power line technology business, has scaled back operations. But it has not closed, as rumours on the Internet suggested. Alan Walbeck, of Inari, told us: "During the re-structuring there is a skeleton crew here at Inari to provide support. The company continues to operate." "Inari still has every intention and reason to continue supporting the CEA initiative and providing support for its silicon solutions." The company has submitted two technologies for testing as the basis of a power line networking standard to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).Other participants include Itran Communications of Israel and nSine of Reading, England. CEA is the only Standards Developing Organisation authorised by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to write US standards for home networking.
