Thanks, Tim. I recall the issue too. For certain modes of power delivery, normal 90 volts was in violation of code, if I recall correctly. They needed to scale down to 24 or 40 volts, maybe 60? (something lower, in any event) at the time. My memory, likewise, is not clear on this. Maybe someone else can recall? These issues were being thrashed out when the legality of a modified ground wire use was being considered. Or am I mistaken on this? A lot's happened since.

It is entirely possible that this "communications cable" is available in Salt Lake to be used for powering purposes. Upon further detailed reading of the press release, it seems that they infer they will be "testing" a technique for centralized powering, not actually implementing it at this time. I think all the members of this panel are savvy enough to understand there is a huge difference between testing the waters and actually deploying a technology or technique into a full scale operating network. It will be very interesting to watch how this test proceeds and the results and conclusions they come up with.
