Did anyone else see this yesterday in the paper. This will be great if it is implemented.

I cant see that happening and even if it does, here in the UK we will still be years behind.

From what I remember sending microwaves through waveguides that are anything other than smoothwalled and highly conductive causes such attenuation as to be a hopeless enterprise.

In any case, here in the UK, a lot of our newer gas supply pipes are plastic; pity they didn't feed in fibre as they were laying them.
