Nice idea, but doesn't it force you to use upper areas of the wall? I'd hate to damage my network connection because someone bumped against the wall. Or forget it was there and hang a picture on your phone connection.

Plus, I wonder how they achieve the equivalent to the 'miracle of twisted pair' in a flat format.

I saw this company at EHX and was overall very impressed with the product. They had sample mock-ups and it appears that using drywall putty and a little feathering, it's easy to hide the wire. I dont think you would use this for the entire run, just difficult areas or the last xx feet to the wall-mount device.

Or when you goof up, and forget to run a drop where you need one.
