They say upload speed will be the same as download speed.

Not a good thing... they tried home networking through house wiring... not good.

I'd bet that they could improve the technology to do that better. (it's too late now though, with wireless available)

Nonetheless, they were talking about this on NPR this morning. Apparently it interferes with ham radios, and they've got first priority and first dibs on the frequencies.

Wow.

Someone had told me it existed, but i didn't believe them.

Now, if we can just get Wireless power...

It doesn't work.

ver bad idea, if I lived in a town where they offered, that, nearly everything in my house would be on UPS's to kill the interference don't jack with the nearly pure 60hrz of power, it's not a good thing on your appliances.

It is actually used for some products that are EVERYWHERE, but no one really knows they exist. A good example is the rempte lights by (Evil) X10. You know, the popup guys . In addition, a supprising amount of home appliances have a limited capabiltiy built in. (high end and ultra high end)

Why is it a bad idea?
