The technology exists and has existed for many years. Is it practical? Can it be FCC approved?
I would say no to both. From: castarritt Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2018 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] More Hot Air?

"The data is sent directly along the power line itself. The wire acts as a waveguide that channels the signal and improves the transmission quality compared to traveling through plain old air, Evans said." "In fact, AT&T discovered the physical basis for AirGig accidentally when engineers noticed that data sent wirelessly behaved differently when it happened to be traveling in the same direction as a power line, Evans said. Companies have tried sending data along power lines before, using them just as wires, but that technology petered out at just tens of kilobits per second, Evans said.
