| 73677 | 2002-08-25 09:05:00 | i thought that most wireless WAS on cellphone sites, hence walker wireless and vodafone working together... Also with the PLC technology, i've noted that it its investigated by buller power authorities with the "aint we wonderful... rural broadband" marketing noizes, but wait a minute, in the middle of nowhere things are like america, in so much as one pole pig feeds 1 maybe 2 farm houses, and the next one is possibly several K away, so once again, economicly unfeesable because as God said >>> "The BIG downer on PLC is that it isnt economically practical to get the signal through a transformer (11,000v/230v) which limits the distance to a few hundred metres, and means you have to have a dedicated broadband comms link at every substation/transformer kiosk." |
