Well, I'd never really considered a network data link to be
"telepathy," before, but it is near-instant on a link with reasonable
speed and latency. (I'd guess that, on a 384 Kbps link, you could
get the data back to to the server in about 30 ms. or so, which is
one frame later. Is a two-frame latency in tracking eye movement
going to work? I have no clue.)

Err..."huh"? Aren't these links full duplex? (They have to be, to
support video-conferencing.) In which case, what would collide?

Well, it would be sort of the reverse of how ecchi videos usually
are in Japan, where the one part that isn't in focus.... :-)
