i was at a technology conference today and some company had a booth showing off their line of network cards that promised gigabit speed over any kind of wire. they had a demo setup for barbed wire, cat 5, cat 3 and speaker wire. it was pretty impressive, they were pinging computers accross the line with no latency. i tried to make interference with a couple cell phones but it never lost a packet or slowed down.

To be honest Im suprised its taken this long, but its good to see.

If they squeeze olives to get olive oil, how do they get baby oil?

ive heard that they were working on a way to deliver broadband over power lines, not on the wire themselves but over the magnetic field around the wire. that would make broadband available just about every where in the world.

once again, I'm suprised this hasnt happened, think of those baby monitors, you plug the transmitter in one room, the reciever in another, and the sound is transferred down the mains (dont ask me how....), also works in blocks of flats (appartments), same idea, though obviously on a different scale.
