Well! Seems som Japanese researchers have figured out how to make a 10M bit/sec network using human skin:
The technology, developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. and its subsidiary NTT DoCoMo Inc., uses the body's conductivity and adds the smarts of a personal digital assistant (PDA), the Nihon Keizai Shimbun said.Kinda gives new emphasis to the concept of "personal firewalls," I suppose. Back to CompendiumA device attached to a PDA can send and receive weak electrical signals through people, with human bodies as communications circuits, the paper said, citing sources close to the companies.
