Bernard, the thing that I find intriguing about this is the possibility of harnessing and exploiting nontraditional forms of solid media.

Using a little breakaway thinking for a moment, why not a community gas main, a sewer pipe or a municipal water tunnel?

Utility power lines are a natural for neighborhood distribution, transformers or no transformers. Resonant signals coded in some yet unfathomed way [the cdma of the solids] could be distinguishable from one another, yet secure. And there is always SolSec for those who need that added level of comfort that their comms remain private. That is, the new SOLiton SECurity protocol.

The frontiers open up with vast new possibilities. Okay, maximum distances are not achievable due to linearity issues in the examples I've cited. But what the hey, we're only talking about a couple of thousand feet here. This is, after all, the last mile thread, isn't it? We're not competing with Global Crossings, here. Yet.

Regards, Frank Coluccio [breaking away in his thinking]
