Not strictly true, Larry.  It has been demonstrated in laboratories that information
may travel faster than light through "quantum-tunneling" which I confess I am not
particular well up on, but has demonstrated information can be transmitted at about
two or three times the speed of light albeit with high error rates, but correctable and
most definetley faster than light (think of it as sending something which takes a day
to arrive but you add extra stuff to correct errors which adds an hour, except the day
was more like a picosecond and the hour a fraction of that :-)

A German(?) laboratory sent classical music at about twice the speed of light through
such a link and it was comparable to a RealAudio 16kbps stream.  And I don't think
they were using error correction but cannot be certain.
