Thanks for the article Any technology that relies on restringing the existing to the home wiring is obviously many years away. When dealing with a new type of cable the first question must also always be "how easy is it to splice"? No wire is immune to the common backhoe, bane of all networking. From the original announcement it sounded like they had some way of using existing cable. From a theoretical standpoint, if you apply xDSL type technology to shielded coax you have a theoretical bandwidth of some 8 Gb/sec compared to the 6 Mb/sec or less you can get over ordinary unshielded phone wiring. If we're talking pulling new wiring than things get a lot less interesting.
