So this thing can receive signals at (just less than) a TeraHz... But is somebody transmitting on that frequency?
Obviously the higher the frequency the more bandwidth is available but what about the characteristics of the atmosphere ? Is this for long distance communication? wouldn't clouds etc screw it up?

Congresses idea of 'Reform' - cut spending on anything not related to the military, and give the money to the rich people as a tax cut.
