Especially since Ethernet is a development of Aloha (packet radio system 
used in Hawaii, mostly for schools IIRC) with the main difference being 
that the radio broadcasts are, in the case of coax Ethernet, simply 
confined to the cable, and never broadcast via an aerial.

Calling a return to the previous generation of a technology "innovation" 
seems just a tad cheeky.

Cheers, Phil.
