With a repeater every mile, they will not be able to fulfill the goal of
cheap Internet for rural users. AUT (another useless technology)

"Their system uses repeaters placed at every one kilometer, (0.62 miles) and
requires power lines to be modified to reduce interference with the data
signals. The estimates were based on computer models, and that the data
speeds available in a real-world version would depend on how many repeaters
a power company used."

Nothing like trying to use something intended for one use for some other
unrelated use. Why would any fool want to put high-speed transmission data
on an unshielded single wire feedline that travels for miles in a hostile
communications environment? One would think the idea wouldn't get off the
professor's desk. Maybe PhD's should harvest rice six months each year to
find out what the real world is all about?
