The last thing I'll say is, you still need to over come the Doppler effect. But if you can send large enough packets quick enough, you can mitigate some of the issues. The biggest thing is sending something across long distances quickly. That's the biggest issue. For that, unfortunately, you need faster than light. I hope the information provides a more exciting journey through your story.
In my opinion, the only way to have faster than light communications is a massive breakthrough on the quantum scale. Entanglement is so new and unknown, that I have no idea if that'll be the answer. It doesn't seem so to me, though. But quantum mechanics breaks so many laws of classical mechanics, it's crazy. You'd almost need some wormhole to communicate using classical techniques. I.e radio, photonics, etc. Which I think is where I rest. Photonics for high data transfer pointed at a wormhole. Then someone receives it in the other side. You still have Doppler effect, but much more mitigated. Hope you enjoyed my diatribe. Much love and peace to you, friend.
