c-rod87: No. Since the chip seems to be using fibre-optic cable (which is incredibly expensive to make, however it is very common everywhere amongst internet and phone line providers because of it's incredible data transmission capacity). You could likely get the chip put in but I doubt the internet provider is going to provide your house with fibre optic cable. Also, we'll probably see this technology put into LANs first and then into ISPs later. Seems it is at the moment research results without a company working to implement this; but as the Australian government is supposedly working to improve the communications infrastructure over here we'll probably see it soon - howerver; going by past experience the technology we develop here will be implemented here last, lol. One little problem with this is that the infrastructures will likely still be using phone line cables to homes and business and the like so the speed is limited by the capabilities of this low level technology - but as a nice little tool to reduce network load for LANs and WANs this little chip looks to be the shiz-net.
