Tell me this is not true!

Here is my favorite part:

The technology to develop automated and remotely controlled household switches using existing power lines was born in Scotland in 1978 when the X-10 company first patented the use of power lines to carry electrical signals to receiving devices (e.g., home appliances) . After this patent expired, this technology was expanded upon by several other companies to include real time control of security and continuous process operations in homes, office buildings, industrial processing and vending gasoline. Power line signal transmission technology is valued for its potential to control anything without the need foradditional wiring to connect the nodes (which consist of the sensors, actuators and, in the case of distributed controls, microprocessors). The other main benefit is that the control network can use the existing power line topology as the communications medium.

READ THIS AND TELL ME ABOUT THE SEVU PATENTS!

I want an answer! Read it and reply!

Go to your favorite search engine. Enter in "Video over existing power lines" tell me what you find out? It looks as if this technology is ALL OVER THE PLACE! YOu can get a camera to plug in any were and have it send the signal over the home power lines to any tv OR COMPUTER?

Happy Posting!
