I assume they would correlate their data with the equivalent agencies around the world. If the gravity waves came from some remote source (like a black hole), their effect could be measured anywhere on Earth. If it was a passing train, that would obviously only occur to one place at a time.
I think once it goes live here it probably won't take long for SonyBMG to get onboard. They were probably refusing to sign up in the hope that the store wouldn't get launched, but now that it has and the other labels start getting lots of sales I reckon Sony-BMG will realise they are losing sales by not being a part of it.
That's if they make any sales at the $1.69 price point songs are at, anyway. That's over 25% more expensive than the US store (after converting the currency).
It seems that the record companies have taken this opportunity to increase prices. Apple wasn't going to budge on its US 99 cents, but with the new store came a chance to a money grab. US$0.99 is about AU$1.30

Actually, you are completely wrong. Releases of Apple products are NEVER preceeded by a massive marketing campaign.
Sure they are. Almost all of their products' releases are preceeded by a big marketing campaign. That campaign starts with Steve Jobs 'releasing' the product and continues through the arrival of the actual deliveries of the product a month or so later.
I remember reading something about special config being required for WiFi over long distances. It was a while ago, but I think it basically amounted to tweaking queue sizes/timouts in the base station, as WiFi wasn't originally designed for applications where speed-of-light latency would be an issue.
I think that may have been for longer-range links, though, where it would be more of an issue.

Which looks pretty damn close to 0.83 cents to me.
