I like this from the article:

'They have two broadband adapters that they can move to any outlet in the house. When Hofstetter takes his computer to a different room in the house, he takes an adapter with him, plugs it in and is instantly connected to the Internet. He can buy extra adapters for about $30.'

When Hofstetter takes his computer to a different room in the house, he takes an adapter with him, plugs it in and is instantly connected to the Internet.

Big deal, if he put wireless in one central location he could wander the house and never plug into anything. Something strikes me as very, very fishy about this. I read an article in WIRED magazine just a year or two ago about a guy trying to develop this technology and there were some major roadblocks at that time having to do with getting the signal through transformers.
