Heard about this in my physics class today, instead of using radio/microwaves, why not free up some of the spectrum and use light to transmit data. It would work absolutely anywhere with light, so airplanes, hospitals and even underwater. Tests show speeds of 500MB/second using just a standard white LED. Pretty crazy stuff if it is practical...
