Re: Looks good....slightly

One transformer per house in "the country", maybe, but in more densely populated areas it's more like 5-10 houses per transformer. You are almost certainly not going to see this outside of metro areas.

Either way it's not a terribly efficient network solution. As Karl pointed out above, this is more for internal utility management purposes with "the internets" riding along on idle bandwidth.

If it's not coming to rural areas why should anyone care? I live in a metro area, and there is a transformer in my neighbors front yard. They do serve 10 houses or so each, but guess what? I already have Comcast HSI, I can get Verizon DSL, and later this year I should be able to get FIOS. So, I'd have to agree that this may be more useful for utility management than anything.
