brownian motion isnt really relevant at this level, but i imagine that if the channel or 'wires' or whatever were close enough then tunneling could be an issue, but probability of tunneling falls off exponentially with the distance, and the severity depends on the energy, but if the wires are put close enough then it could be an issue, however only if there was just few atoms between channels
power hungry is about it, the governments have realised that they can do what they want, and even if everyone complains, no-one will ever actually get off thier arse and do anything about it like they used to, we are all content to be passive aggressive even though it achieves nothing and the big wigs can do what they want
aslong as you can put the main unit in a waterproof container, i dont see why not, but the water will diffuse the light more rapidly than air, especially if the sharks kick up a load of silt in their frenzy, so the range may be limited
if the sharks are bad at aiming, they will just burn the skin, rather than focusing on one spot to burn a hole, but it may infact be preferable for the sharks to have their dinner 'fried off' rather than vapourised

every great new technology is 5-10 years away i belive

is that not what wimax is about?
