The HDBaseT documents (http://www.hdbaset.org/files/HDBaseT_Comparison_Table_Nereus.pdf) suggest that it will be compatible w/ standard networking.
As for powering a TV via the cable, don't we call this Power over Ethernet? Unfortunately looking at Wikipedia, none of the PoE standards offer 100W, so it'll be interesting to see if they propose an updated PoE standard.
My real concerns with this is: - No mention of IPv6 - No Gigabit ethernet for now - seriously - No 'n' wireless? Surely that'd be fast enough to watch some TV via the Satellite/Cable box on the other side of the house?
This standard has all the hallmarks of the "This standard is SOOOO good everyone, so good infact we'll declare it rubbish in 1-2 years time and force everyone to update their TVs/media centres/etc to get everything we could have implimented now" pitch.
