Though originally intended as an Aprils Fools' joke, a South African company (The Unlimited) decided to take this a step further in September 2009 and actually implement it in order to demonstrate that this IPoAC transmission protocol was actually faster than their local ISP, Telkom SA. In this case, IPoAC was much faster than the DSL provided by Telkom SA-- by the time the IPoAC transmission was complete, the transmission over DSL was only 4% complete. The The BBC article describing this event can be found here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8248056.stm.
