Is Wavetech is capable of FTL communications?
Even if there is a limit on how far you can go/reach without significant timelag, depending on what that distance is, it would help.
by standard radio it takes at least 3 minutes for a message to go from Earth to Mars (at closest approach), or half an hour to reach Jupiter (again, at closest approach).
note: I'm estimating based on the travel times posted by Fnord in the Gazetteer thread.__________________
