The telephone poles are connected with string, not redstone. It uses tripwire to send messages across the telephone poles. A dispenser will spit an item into the tripwire and cause a signal which will travel across the pole and do it to the next one, so on and so forth, until it gets to the other person's house.
I connected two houses with it. You send messages back and forth by hitting buttons and reading the lights that light up.
You can send 0s and 1s, and I have a book in the chest of the houses that gives you a Huffman coding in order to translate those into letters and then words.
Obviously there's no serious reason to use this, I just think the concept is kinda cool.

| It could be useful in faction PVP servers without private chat to transmit secret messages. |
