    Google has successfully devised a "last hundred smelly yards" solution that takes advantage of preexisting plumbing and sewage systems and their related hydraulic data-transmission capabilities. "There's actually a thriving little underground community that's been studying this exact solution for a long time," says Page. "And today our Toilet ISP team is pleased to be leading the way through the sewers, up out of your toilet and - splat - right onto your PC."

    They also have posted do-it-yourself instructions on how to get it started right now:

    This was a joke. Behind the seen however, Google might indeed be contemplating something like that in future in big cities (the fact that they chose that for joke tells me that indeed they are thinking about it).
