Re: 10MBps??

DC would never be used for power transmission. AC is much easier to boost over long distances.

Bonne Terre, MO		 DC is used for it though, each has its advantages.

DC is better for higher population areas, thats why lots of european nations use it instead of AC

Where is it in widespread use? I thought DC was just experimental at this point...

Here's a table of power standards in each country

Actualy DC was used in the US for a while due to Edison. Problem is you would need generation station every few miles.

Teslar came up with AC to allow for running power for long distances. Much more efficent.
