[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] That sounds reasonable, Timo. We already do the same thing today with our basic utilities such as water, power, and sewage. In that time frame, transporters may be included as a normal utility. However, I don't know if site-to-site transporting would be as common as you think. When Sisko was discussing with Jake how he always beamed into the dining room for dinner, he seemed to emphasize the point that his parents didn't make anything of it. He could have been emphasizing the entire "I'm in the Academy but I'm beaming home for supper," but he also could have been emphasizing that "I'm not only beaming home because I'm so homesick but I'm beaming right into the dining room." I guess I'm just looking at this from an etiquette point of view. I would consider it very rude for my parents to just beam into the entry foyer of my house. I'd be willing to bet that secretaries may not enjoy random people just beaming into their offices as well. Uninvited guests and all that. I can see transporter units set up on street corners much like we have telephone booths today. You can still get fairly close to your destination, but, damn it, you need some exercise! :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
