Nah, too slow. Why not try for faster then light? It is a well known fact
that Kingship is transferred instantaniously (once the old king dies, the
heir _immediatly_ becomes king). Think of the potential! Of course, you'd
have to find a way to modulate the signal, and reuse the kings (we don't
have as many as we used to, after all). Research into that has not been
popular, for some reason :-)
To give credit where it is due, this is not my original idea - it was first
raised by Terry Prattchet, in one of his books. Be sure to mention him in
your Nobel prize lecture.
Have fun,
