| Re: Looks good....slightly One transformer per house in "the country", maybe, but in more densely populated areas it's more like 5-10 houses per transformer. You are almost certainly not going to see this outside of metro areas.
Either way it's not a terribly efficient network solution. As Karl pointed out above, this is more for internal utility management purposes with "the internets" riding along on idle bandwidth. | |

| Re: Looks good....slightly If it's not coming to rural areas why should anyone care? I live in a metro area, and there is a transformer in my neighbors front yard. They do serve 10 houses or so each, but guess what? I already have Comcast HSI, I can get Verizon DSL, and later this year I should be able to get FIOS. So, I'd have to agree that this may be more useful for utility management than anything. | |
