Greg, I did cover my short with a tiny profit. Yes, I can see many uses for the ELON product within the house. But it is for communications over the powerlines only WITHIN the house. The signals will not pass through the transformers to go further than that. Actually all the houses connected to a single transformer could communicate, but not further than that. However, long distance communication is not necessary for the product to have great value; a single phone line or cable modem connection can communicate with devices throughout the house. The largest value for "smart" electricity use is created if power rates go high enough to make folks worry about such things. Unfortunately high power rates and much higher natural gas rates are probably in our future.
