Since we're in fantasy mode, why ignore the superconductor market? There's still progress being made there, admittedly more slowly than people hoped. Three pots of gold stretching in a line to the horizon, anyone?

jtj, That is some good forward thinking! I agree that to use the airways some additional compression scheme needs to work. Superconducting filters could certainly help. Unfortunately the advantage gained by using superconductors falls off with increasing frequency (those damn normal electrons <g>). On the plus side (for HELX) is that dropping the temperature helps with all technologies. There has been some great strides made recently in thermoelectrics too. I hope HELX is paying attention. I used to own some KOPN. They make micro video displays (and GaAs HBT wafers). We were talking about mobile internet access with headset video displays. Bandwidth keeps rearing its ugly head. The company that can can solve that problem proprietarily (is that a word?) would be the one to own <g>. JF
