Frank, what you describe sounds like it could work, The issue will always be, as you have astutely preached, at what price. The draw of power line data communications has always been the ubiquity of infrastructure, but for my money, not much else. The going-in idea seems to be we could ride this pipe and keep infrastructure and operating costs real cheap, and the bonus, every customer already is connected (unlike cable.) I think the work-arounds that suggest themselves, at the end of the day, add to an unpretty kludge (which will be unpleasantly expensive, and will never come down in cost). If you have a truly pretty one, don't compromise your patent potential with a public disclosure here! One last quibble, <it allows for the reuse of the three phasa to the home, just like a VDSL in the SDV model ... > Do you have three phase power in your house? That is quite unusual; every other woodworker I know who has invested in a used piece of industrial 3 phase equipment buys a 1 to 3 phase converter to run the "bargain" purchase. I guess I am saying you lost me on the "three phasa" comment.
