I wouldn't be a bit surprised i this wasn't just another of
our government's little projects that went bust.  I would guess
that someone got this hotshot idea that the one common factor
in everyone's office/home is electricity, and that could be used
for signalling.  An exorbitant amount of tax dollars were probably
spent on this thing which, when completed, became a white elephant
because no one thought to ask the power companies if they could
change the frequency!  I'd be curious as to how much this cost
the government.   No, on second thought, I'd rather not know.  I'm
still too depressed from April 15. :-(
