Broadband In Gas - Carrying internet over gas pipelines

goldinero
I recently read about a company called Nethercomm that is promoting a broadband in gas technology. Apparently, this company has some patents pending on devices that can be installed in gas pipelines that go to commercial and residential buildings to provide the "last mile" connection for broadband.

It appears the technology is based on radio frequencies propogated down the gas pipe as a wave guide. Nethercomm boasts data rates up to 40 Mbps are possible to the home.

Anyone know of any actual implementation/trials of this technology going on presently?

I will not use it, problaly.
Altough, in their official website it said with broadband powered technology it will reduce the cost of broadband, while increasing the available bandwidth.
But personally, I don't think it will cheaper than normal broadband, because as you may know gas is one of the rare natural resources, so maybe some day gas price would be increasing, and it would affect the company tongue.gif
Anyway, this is the company official website: http://www.nethercomm.com/

Wow, that's pretty cool how they managed to make this technology go public, but I am sure that it will be on the expensive side; just think about the maintenance costs! Anyway, this might be good for those who don't have access to cable internet and want to have a fast connection. Good find by the way!

well your forgetting one thins gas is flammable meaning ti will blow up, thus melting all the wiring and cuasing huge problems, you can consider this a failed project from the start. its impossible to rpotect the wiring from getting damaged.

    Micrsoft confirmed what we've already expected. The new-coming explorer IE 7 will only be
    compatible with windows XP and newer. The two reasons why old dinosaurs that still use Windows 2000
    and lower won't be able to use the new IE are: 1. state in which is the extended support of
    Windows 2000 and 2. mostly of technical nature (IE 7 is goin to have a few security updates and

  11. Voip(voice Over Internet Protocol) - real money saver (16)
    VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the communication technology of the future for sure. Legacy
    technology carries voice signals over analog circuits and lines. Voice over IP converts the analog
    signal to digital and transports the signal to the receiver where it is converted back from digital
    to analog and the receiver hears the sender's voice. This provides a more efficient and
    economical means of communication. I have know VOIP for quite a some time since i started online.
    Most of the time i use msn messeger or yahoo messeger to chat with my friends. Recently,...

  14. Understanding Broadband - are you ready to upgrade ? (1)
    QUOTE In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is
    available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can
    be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently,
    allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a
    highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband (a synonym),
    baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to car...

    Yes, it’s finally true. Stuck on like a big band aid, courtesy of MSN Toolbar 1.2, we have IE with

    needed to do, and have provided tabbed browsing for Internet Explorer. Things are fairly undeveloped
    at this stage, but reports talk about it running fast and supporting most features you'd want.
