No way...

I just checked the calender and it isn't April 1.

This just HAS to be a joke. With all the different connections and distribution nodes for natural gas even if this could work you would end up with dial-up bandwitdh.

Plus the danger of inserting whatever endpoint you would need at the customer premise would be astronomical. We just had a building blow up because of faulty gas connections up here in Minnesota, they then discovered that the whole block is connected with faulty connections and needs to be replaced. I just don't see any municipality giving a licence to any hair-brained scheme like this.

I wonder if they also could sell me the Brooklyn bridge....

No, but this is.

Hey, why not broadband-over-sewer-lines? Then we could use ShitTorrent to "swap files" with our neighbors. I'd love to see the RIAA have to wade through that stuff...

That's one file-sharing system I'll be avoiding, thank you.
