Real Arien I'm sure, it's like a giant very high-tech webcam.
"It is rather like using a giant web-cam, live streaming (though we are told the internet is not involved and there is no audio connection) between two of the world's biggest cities."
I like how you can write to each other, telling people where you're from etc.

no internet involved my arse!
it doesn't use the earths crust at all, there are numerous fault lines running down the middle of the Atlantic, and that's one small piece of water you have to cross to get from London to New York..

^^ Reg, there are already fiber-optics running across the pond...
... they call it the internet. How other than fiber optics would the whole world network? Wireless is out of the question.

Satellites maybe?
Satellites are why VOIP is so rubbish, they can sometimes introduce huge delays of half a second or more into the conversation!
