| Re: Plastic gas pipes said by Bobcat  :EDIT: The article says this works with plastic gas pipes. Is the plastic conductive? It doesn't have to be, the technology doesn't send an electrical signal along the pipe, it sends an RF signal *inside* the pipe, with the pipe acting as a waveguide. | |

@verizon.net | Re: Plastic gas pipes Its not the pipe carrying the signal, it is the ground line that is wrapped around the pipe that will carry the signal. | |

Decatur, GA | Geez, sounds like they've just upped the ante for the FIOS installers to cut more gas lines. And when they do, there goes all your personal information gushing up from a hole in the ground and being spread all over the street! | |
