| Propagating radio waves in pipes. Propagating radio waves in pipes is certainly a new twist on the idea of last-mile solutions, but it still requires more traditional hub-to-headend backhauls.
How to they handle propagation dampening, ghosting (harmonics), etc. between the point where its introduced and where its delivered. How are they handling isolation between households, or multiple accounts? How much energy is required to transmit upstream, from household to hub or headend? What happens during pressure flux? How dangerous would flowing NG inside of its pipe be toward generating static electric interference in the propagated transmission? What is the signal loss function--it is linear distance, non-linear distance on a tree, etc.?
This 'might' be of use to city owned and operated NG infrastructures and benefit them in knowing they will not have to dig up too much of the ROW (right of way). Still, though, its of limited market reach since (as someone already pointed out) not everyone lives in a NG-equipped neighborhood. |

| Seems like a great idea for meter reading. |

Sounds like you described most cable internet infrastructures. |

| I would not know. I don't work in the cable industry.  |

Figures someone would ruin the fun with a serious, technical post! |

Well GhostDoggy has a brain, anyone else?
 I swear, this msg board is full of retards. Why the hell is 90% of the post about Sewers when the post is about "Broadband-in-Gas (BiG) Technology"... damn people at least go to the website and read something about the technology before you make idiots of yourselves!
