Gigawire = Plastic optical Fiber?
What if...
Gigawire is a plastic optical fiber cable which utilizes the 1394b protocol along with power modulation via chromophores and Opto chips?
Plastic optical fiber is small, like fishing line and is capable of (if i remember correctly) Gigabit data streams.
What's the benefit?
The price of a high bandwidth plastic cable is cheap as in 10 to 20 cents a foot.
It's bendable, way bendable, as bendable as fishing line. You could "wire" your house with this stuff by taping it to your drywall walls and paint over it and noone would see it.
And plastic actually will support power-via-data loads.
Read link at bottom.
SO now you can run that Gigabit wire to your HDTV/MP3-ready stereo and not worry about the inefficiencie of wireless bandwidth.
OK I'm wearing my asbestos suit. Come get me.
