To drag this back kicking and screaming to somewhere vaguely related  
to the topic
I'd just point out that 50 Ohm coaxial cable (RG58A/U was the specific  
cable type)
was also used for the first fairly widely used deployment of Ethernet  
(yes, I know
about original Ethernet cable and vampire taps, and I've even used it,  
but you'd
hardly call it widely used).
