Hi:

My internet-access fantasy involves dial-up modem telecommunications
technology devices which use PSK [Phase Shift Keying] as the modulation
scheme. This too-good-to-be-true PSK uses only 1-symbol-per-second but
with a Graham's-number amount of bits-per-symbol.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_number

Now that is a lot of bits-per-baud!

If it were possible for such PSK to exist, what would be the
disadvantages of it?


Thanks,

Radium

Hmmm...let me think. Since its not possible to exist, its a moot point
in discussing any advantages or disadvantages

Let's say it was possible to exist. What would be the drawbacks?

The laws of physics would have changed, so the universe as we know it
would cease to exist. Other than that, seems OK to me.

I hate when that happens.
