Possible previous arts for this patent

On: More on Sightsound.com's Patent

Spiffy. The idiocy of the patent officer(s) responsible for this is staggering. They've issued a patent for a figment of the applicant's imagination. This patent sounds suspiciously like one of Alexander Graham's many patents... the telephone. :p

PS: Other examples of possibly pre-existing art may include (I don't know the exact dates of the initial invention of these, but...):
Cable Television
Phone Sex/Psychic Lines
Sattelites
Telegraph?! (I'm assuming there were "payment from receiver" options)
