on a serious note, couldnt the receiver use infrared or some alternative vision to see the beam through poor weather conditions? I also saw on discovery channel (i think it was fibre optic cables) they stretch glass and wrap it so its like a copper wrapped cable, and the light is beamed through the glass wrapped cable. In that scenario weather conditions would not hinder our movie download speeds. =P]]>Mar 1st 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/01/ibms-green-optical-link-promises-one-second-movie-downloads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/01/ibms-green-optical-link-promises-one-second-movie-downloads/
