Mitch-

I'd bet on sewer pipes, since they have more available bandwidth than water pipes, if you can figure out a way to prevent interference from the occasional surge of... brown data. But I'm sure we'll see an IPO soon for a company promising an optical solution to coexist with the brown data.

Also back to lurking (and all can be glad of that),
Wright

That's exactly how Mercury Communications got started in London during the Eighties. They used the abandoned water and gas mains, right up to the point of entry in each structure.

At about the same time, Teleport Communications Group and others in the city of Chicago rediscovered the coal tunnels. In NY City some private nets have been contemplated for placement in the sewer sysetems. I'll leave it at that.
