Awesome for people with new homes with ethernet wiring running everywhere already especially the living room.
Will laugh when Monster Cable makes gold plated CAT-5 cables with carbon fibre connectors wrapped in genuine snakeskin leather.

Monster will soon come out with their Premium Ethernet Cables, which deliver a one million percent(!) improvement in image quality, compared to other cables!

Rolling out in 2011? How will that work with current consoles, PCs, DVD/BR players, PVRs etc?

Shhh don't tell anyone that a digital signal can't degrade over cable. I want to make tons of cash off idiots selling over priced Ethernet cables.

What really sucks is that I just bought a fancy HDMI switch to solve my current theatre problems. O well still need it for 2 years before this craziness commences

I am no proponent of pricey (especially monster) cables. But there are lots of examples of instances where digital signals can degrade over cables. One personal example I have was trying to get rid of sparklies on my hdtv introduced by a 50' (not so great) hdmi cable.

So they're proposing data rates in excess of HDMI 1.3/1.4 (i.e. > 10 GBits/sec) along with PoE and 100 mbit ethernet using garden-variety Cat5e/Cat6? What I've seen also indicates you'd still need an HDBaseT-equipped receiver to function as a switch, which is essentially what HDMI does anyway. The primary benefit appears to be rolling your own (potentially long) cables and sticking them in a wall, but aside from projectors, I've rarely seen a setup where the sources are more than a few meters away from the TV. The 100W power transmission is more interesting; operating low-power TVs could be possible with a single cable. That's not useful for most people, but it could be interesting in commercial applications.

I'm struggling to see the practicality too.
I guess you could have one central receiver/server for the whole house, which would be pretty cool. Then you are stuck having to replace all the tvs and a/v receivers in your house though. Maybe some day down the road that would be useful. A solid wireless solution would probably be available by then, you'd think though.
I don't see what this offers that dlna wouldn't though?

Pretty much exactly that price. These are the ones we use at work:
