Yep, I agree it is currently impractical.  But, I think it may be possible with
rethinking some of the push technologies.  Not sure how, but I think it can be
done. Yes, I know there has to be some sort of ACK sent back saying that you
got packets and you have to request connections and such, but that is all
because of existing protocols.  Not because technology requires it . . .
signals over wire can be just as one-way as signals over air, we just need to
figger out how :)
