I'd Hate to See the War Chalking

From Malcolm Cox:
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) is pursuing research and development of an innovative Human Area Networking technology called RedTacton (*1) that safely turns the surface of the human body into a data transmission path at speeds up to 10 Mbps between any two points on the body.

Human Area Networks, or HAN's, in case you're wondering. BAN's (Buttocks Area Networks) are soon to follow.

"Uh, hello, tech support? I have a BAN and I'm only getting 3Mbps."
"Have you run Assdiag?"
"I did."
"Send me the data dump. That 10Mbps is a theoretical ass transmission speed. Your ass may not support that."
