if you're in the San Francisco area, I can think of quite a few hotels where this would make sense. Places like the Fairmont or the Mark Hopkins aren't going to disrupt their guests and their revenue stream for rewiring. Of course there would be the problem of prying the dollars out of their managements' hands to pay for it. ;->
three or four years ago I was personally humiliated because I trusted the telecom guy at one of the big hotels in town that he would be able to deliver a simple ethernet connection from his telco room to a particular conference room. Of couse he couldn't and the connection to the internet failed. ( don't ask - I was dragged in at the last minute because somebody else who had no clue was on the path to destruction, and I stupidly agreed to try to bail him out ) In any case, something like this would have been the perfect solution, assuming that the wiring in general was not corroded too badly, or the rats hadn't munched it into uselessness. And in this particular hotel, that was a distinct possibility. :-> Chuck ""Bolton, Travis"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Very interesting technology.
