I'm a bit disappointed that he didn't include IPoAC (IP over Avian Carriers) in his comparisons. Sure it is high latency, but the bandwidth is killer. http://

- dcurtis 19y agoWow, that made my day. Thank you. I'm amazed they got 4 of the 9 pigeons to actually return the ping.
- Tichy 19y agoHm, that inspires me to another idea: maybe smoke signals could be revived, if they could be automatically picked up by weather satellites? I wonder at what resolution and frequency the world is being scanned by satellites these days? I often wonder how to help people in war countries. For example Tibet at the moment: communication channels are being shut down, how could one provide people with simple means to get a message out to the world? Could smoke signals be a solution? One problem is that I would not like the sender of the message to be detectable by the enemy. Not sure if that is solvable at all (certainly not with smoke signals).
