I think the signal can go thru transformers also. It would be interesting if a domestic US power supplier evaluated the system.

I think it would work.

This technology is so radical to us here in the US., since we are used to telephone lines, cable and satellites, that we will never give it a chance. In addition, since Lucent does not have it, it probably will never displace their high speed modems and digital high speed modifications to existing telephone lines where they have an in to the telephone companies. This might be a great addition to a large
downtown skyscraper that can be outfitted to proved a internet connection where ever there is a power outlet or provide internet to a small campus, etc.

What makes <<Europe-only>> interesting is the fact that the telcos there don't offer fixed rate Internet access, they meter it. If nor.web is successful it could blow open the PSTN monopolies and drive demand for even more DWDM, etc.
