Now I've seen everything...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20060911/...dbandapipedream QUOTE Nethercomm, a San Diego-area start-up, says it has developed technology to send lightning-fast broadband and TV services via wireless signals through the pipes that deliver the fuel used to heat homes and fire up stoves.

QUOTE Normally, the twists and turns of a gas pipe would cause wireless signals to lose strength. But ultrawideband, a new unlicensed wireless technology, sends out pulses of radio energy across such a wide swath of frequencies that if some data packets are lost, others can easily make it to the home. Also, federal rules that limit the strength of ultrawideband signals don't apply in underground pipes. So, Nunally says, power levels can be boosted to provide each household bandwidth of up to 6 gigabits per second, several times that of a cable provider. so... it'll be blazing fast... with like 10% packet loss QUOTE Build-out costs are about $200 per household Provided said home already uses gas... QUOTE while phone and cable TV networks each cost well over $1,000 per home to build, says West Technology Research Solutions. say what??? interesting idea though |
