Has anyone but me read the book The Stardroppers by John Brunner? In this book, "stardropping" is the latest hype. Using portable receivers, people listen to cosmic background radiation. What they hear is not only noise and static...
Sounds like Brunner's story from 1972 has become reality:-)
(And yes, I know, we don't carry receivers, but the resemblance with the plot is still striking:-)
