Since this is obviously not reliable as a constant link, would this technology be better suited as a package transmitter? ie. large amounts of info at one time.
US Navy Subs only send/receive data at certain times. (when they are on the surface)
Also, all Navy ships (or most anyway) have Stable Elements already, so adapting that signal to a tranceiver would be easy.
It sounds like the private sector wouldn't benifit as greatly as the Military might. But you gotta admit, the thought of filling up your (present) Hard Drive in a sec or 2 is a pretty awesome concept!
Just a quick note from an EX-mechanic. R-12 isn't illegal at all... You have to be licensed to get it is all. The reasoning behind that, is to educate all the mechanics on proper handling, and to keep the "Shade Tree" mechanics from letting it out into the atmosphere. Another thing, all they really did was stop producing R-12, but you can still get it in most all of your local parts stores. As a matter of fact, the demand has apparently dropped, since the price has dropped also. I have seen prices around $40 a can, and you can get it for about half now if you are certified. And why would the Govt do this to us? Well, it sounds like something to boost the economy to me (or at least that is what they would have you believe). Look at all the expensive new parts and tools being manufactured!!

Is this going to be a medium for the next wave of viruses?
