Personal Area Network

Kind of weird these days to find techo news in print first - I wonder how I missed this one...

RedTacton is the name of the system - being created by NTT from Japan.  How about using the body's electrical field to pass information around the body?  (well hey the brain already uses it!)

Claimed data rate is 2Mbps.   Maybe in future shaking hands could pass your business card info accross?  I do wonder if there are health issues, however it does sound very cool - and certainly working in the cyborg direction methinks.
