What's great about the cyberphone call to Moslem prayers is that via MediaFLO, even if somebody is 5km away in a mall, buying a burka or machete, they can receive the call to prayer, hop on the freeway and be there in a few minutes [outside rush hours]. They wouldn't hear the bells, or public address systems, even from the top of a minaret.
It's the 21st century and even Moslems will adopt MediaFLO.
With CDMA cyberphones, they could get video and voice and send it too, so attendance could be anywhere. The could do it not just on MediaFLO, but by logging on to a web site for a webcast.
Come to think of it, I think there is a major market opportunity there for an enterprising theologian to cash in by providing on-line religion, of various denominations.
It must already be done - go to god.com [edit... I see somebody, presumably Go- himself, has already got it, so I'd have to get a different url], then click one's preferred brand and then within major categories, each sub-brand. Even though Go- is supposed to be really powerful and know what's going on, you still have to type God in the url, or it doesn't get you there I found.

There are lots of brands, adherents.com mostly tax-free I believe and all enjoying good cash flow and status for the bosses.
