Maybe they will be mixing in happy pixies along with the angry pixies, so this will be like binary.  :P

I've just watched most of the video, the more I watched the more I thought it was snake oil.

50/60Hz power cables cause enough problems without converting it to 600Hz 336V square waves.

Exactly, this crap will never pass FCC, let alone EMI!  It's a stupid idea! Square wave power! :-DD
OH HELL NO!!!
Just imagine anything with a speaker turning into...
rrinker:
 After looking at their patents, it doesn't look like a square wave (despite the marketing wank showing just that). There seems to be some sort of sawtooth where the power component is switch off for some small number of microseconds.

 I haven't seen the equipment at this client in person, just in photos. It LOOKS like decent gear, not something thrown together on a lark, the main unit is neatly rack integrated, the remotes by design are just plain boxes which look decently ruggedized like most industrial gear.

 I doubt the idea and a proof of concept cost them anywhere near $10 million.
Cyberdragon:
Sawtooth is just as bad. When you have a sharp transition, you get unwanted radio waves, just like with a triac chopping a sine wave. So unless they have extensive shielding and filtering (expensive!) it will be aweful at long runs!
