There have actually been some news stories about a company called
Nethercomm that is planning to do ultra-fast "last mile" networking
via natural gas lines, using them as a waveguide. I've found some news
stories on them from 2005 and 2006, but nothing recent.

Emediawire.com has a link to a PowerPoint deck that's pretty
interesting (it's marked "company confidential" though). I've
TinyURL'd the link lest it get mangled:
