Re: Key Part of the Article
said by Matt  :I think a key part of the article is that the exec stated they are starting to consider the copper wire inside your home as part of THEIR network. Very interesting. They pretty much lost that battle 30+ years ago. Your home = your wiring. Many older homes have daisy-chained phone and coax wiring, which is useless for today's technologies.
It does bring concern, though...first the re-assimilation of Ma Bell, and then the "we own your wiring" thing. Curious.

If they didn't, why would they bother? Oh noes....say it ain't so! I think of my parents' home, built in 1968, with a single loop of untwisted, unshielded, and unrestrained phone wiring going from room to room. They want to pass data on that Chit? And claim "ownership"?
The spurious emissions alone will cause 3-eyed babies soon enough, you'll see...;)

I think you're reading too much into this about the DeathStar owning your inside wiring. It's really very simple. In order to meet customer expectations, they've got to get the signal from the NID to the device inside the premise. |
