Yes. Big ass toys for a bunch of boyz without brainz :-) And remember,
"Ivy Bells" technology won't work here.
That aside, I'm not arguing that it is un-doable, I am arguing that it is
so difficult that it must be reserved for only those "special cases" where
the risk/cost/benefits can all be balanced out (and where there is some
backhaul available).
Attempting to do this on a universal scale, just won't, well, *scale*.
Not yet. I am looking eagerly towards entangled photons though, just to
be sure we never reach the point of scalability ;-)
