Can Power Cable to the Masthead offer a viable alternative to fibre?

The current move to fibre to the masthead in cellular environments can provide a step change in data throughput, but is it necessary?

Electrical cables already present provide the most economical solution to increasing data transit, and when aggregated with the existing coaxial infrastructure can more than meet foreseeable requirements.

 

Power cable can transmit data at up to 500Mbps (Ethernet Over Power) and the relatively clean environment (of the masthead) can provide the perfect environment to maximise data-speeds.

If anyone is interested in this concept, has any comments or ideas on E.O.P in the cellular environment please join this discussion thread, if there is enough interest we can start a group.
