Ethernet transmission is broadband not tuned like a radio but the same equations as presented in the article hold across most of the bandwidth (where the skin effect holds). Actually, I am not sure whether the article is referring to tuned or broadband communication but in a sense it is irrelevant because practically, a large proportion of the energy transmitted in a modern broadband system is in the skin effect domain. If this wasn't the case, the system would be highly inefficient in the use of available bandwidth.
