Of course. Doesn't mean it can't be done. Telecom enigineers have over a century experience in using a shared medium by many parties. The technology is called radio and the medium the aether...

And BTW, DSL circuits are not 100% isolated from each other either. Crosstalk is a serious problem with DSL.


Cheers, Michiel
