ok fine but there is _no_ such thing as minimal matrix connection. you _need_
a high speed 'clean' connection to the matrix and a cell phone won't cut it.
you can send compressed video (as in mpeg) easily enough if the resolution is
kinda low so you _can_ transmit vid no prob but sensorium feeds, position data,
transfer of data....i'm not wastin' my brain cell on a connection like that
chum pal..
