Roy,
	I thought your readers might be interested in this item that came to me from
a financial information service that sends me Email.

      A consortium of 15 leading technology, publishing and home development
companies, including IBM,
      LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES INC and INTEL CORP, said they have devised an easy
and affordable
      standard for wiring homes to efficiently handle everything from heating
to lighting to Internet access.
      "Wiring America's Homes," as the group is called, is conducting a
nonprofit campaign designed to
      educate new home buyers, and skeptical home builders, and to promote a
unified wiring system that
      can support basic home amenities for less than $2,000. (Reuters 10:16 AM
ET 09/22/99) For the full
      text story, see full story 

I am skeptical about whether safety and health considerations played any part
in these plans.  Do any of your readers know anything about this.
