If they can make it work at 60ghz, it might be feasible... and they might even be able to get that FCC approved. But if you're having to go stick these things on the power lines every few poles, is that really going to be that much cheaper than just hanging fiber on those same poles? it certainly isn't going to work anywhere near as well as fiber, no matter what they say.
I don't doubt that it could be made to work, and it might even be practical if they do it right, but there seems to be a lot of problems to overcome, and I have a hard time believing AT&T is going to get anywhere with it.
