    • + Wireless

    • - limited range

    • - horribly inefficient, increasing with distance

        Are you somehow under the impression that just because it is “global” there are no transmitters and receivers and distance does not matter?

        I mean you absolutely can communicate from Australia to USA with nothing but an old rusty bed frame and 5 watts of power. So there’s that. But not much more to do with that bit of non-ionising power.
