C2, why take Mohammed to the mountain by teleporter? It's easier to take the mountain to him. Again using CDMA. Just put a couple of 'eyes' wherever Mohammed wants to be and hey presto, instant 3D 'presence'. Stereophonic sound could be added using a model of a head with microphones where Mohammed's ears would be, with CDMA propagation right to Mohammed's cochlear implant or EarCell[TM].

True, it's not quite the same as being there, but eyes and ears are a good start. With highly pixelated images and good quality sound, it would be tough to know that one wasn't actually there. All we'd be doing is stretching our optic and aural nerves so our eyes and ears are located not just in front of our brain and to the side, but 1000s of kilometres away. There's no law of nature which says our optic nerves are only allowed to be a few centimetres long. I'd rather have one 20 billion light years long, with quantum tunnelling tricks so I don't have to wait too long to see the light. For now, 20,000 kilometres would be a good start.

Some company will be the first $1 trillion market capitalisation company. I think it should be QUALCOMM. Microsoft lacks mobility and people are primarily mobile. Immobility is abnormal and a sin against nature.
