Please be gentle wth me - I'm an electronic ignoramus, but, after a lengthy search, I found seven baked uses only, listed for communicating via powerlines.
The seven uses didn't include my favourite possibility - each viewer having a 'remote with a vote' via each set's powerline.
If technically
feasible, the impact on society would have to be immense, [good, bad, and indifferent], given the universality of tv.
Surely somewhere, someone is baking this idea. If not, why not.

I can't support application-specific infrastructure. |

If you want to use the power lines for communication, fine; run IP over the grid, and then (if you like) transmit TV votes over that network (or any other network). |

Don't link the two, or else we'll end up with yet more special-purpose wires and "integration" hassles. |

Thanks. I understand, sort of. There's this row of doors. There's tiger behind each door, differing from the others only by the pattern of its stripes. |

I'm backing out before I get eaten. |

Will that Time Domain technology starve the tigers anyway? |
