Any body out there in extropy-land who is following R&D breakthrus on = WWVs ?

They have got to be the ultimate communications device particularly if = we can get them down to gnat-size.

Bandwidth is the obvious constraint at the moment but somewhere between = satellite LEOS (v2.001 ?), G3 and whatever GSM comes up with next we = must be getting close.

When brain-storming some possible applications I got:-

Now for the nice stuff ....

And for those really mega-events ( perhaps the dawn of the new = millennium somewhere in a Pacific paradise?) a good proportion of the = populace could come close to a feeling of being part of that often = dreamt about, good-vibe of universal consciousness.

I'd love to get some dialog going on WWV's and where they make take us.
