Yeah, I found out that when Global IntraTel (the original company to provide mobile phone sattellites) were setting up their phone network, they discovered that they needed a specific rhythm for mobile phone emissions to be sent at. It turned out that their chief technical engineer Lionel Gregory had just been at a friend's party, at which he was introduced to the music of Jazz legend George Benson. He remembered one rhythm which had particularly caught his imagination, which was the classic 4/4 jazz drum beat. This was used as the rhythm at which mobile signals would be sent, and which is now commemorated almost 5 billion times a day worldwide as people send text messages and make calls - mad stuff!thedonal said:George Benson and mobile phone interference?
