+ | Planet-wide communication is handled much the way it is now, with dedicated networks of satellites, ground stations, trunked networks, and so on. United Telephone is an example of a wireless provider with networks on nearly every populated world. | ||

- | ==== Public Access Networks ==== | + | While each express boat is being serviced, it dumps the contents of its secure memory to the tender for broadcast in-system, and receives outgoing messages from the tender for transport to other systems. |

+ | As a general rule, interstellar communications can take days, between encryption, transmission to tender, transfer to express boat, [[space travel|travel]] through hyperspace, transfer to tender, and transmission from tender to destination world for decryption. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Felios and Amazonia Systems are special cases, since neither planet has a large enough population to justify the expense of maintaining a dedicated pair of express boats. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Express boats, as a general rule, enjoy neutrality similar to Uncia' | ||
+ | ====== Starship Communications ====== | ||
+ | //Shipboard comm systems go here, too. Again, communications are limited by speed of light, so perhaps specify an OOC convention that ships use specific comsys.muf channels for each given system?// | ||
