   this should end well

   or a whole new technology invented other than radio waves for data transmission

   are any satellites using laser downlink yet or is line-of-sight too temperamental with weather and planes?

      I mean isn't space X testing satellites with sat to sat lasers?

      In that case you don't need to ground lasers, you just beam the data where you have unjammed communications with the cost of higher latency.
