An LED-based communication network...

Some interesting possibilities for wireless communications from Cellular News in "Lightbulbs Could Replace Wi-Fi Hotspots":
"­Boston University's College of Engineering is launching a program, under a National Science Foundation grant, to develop the next generation of wireless communications technology based on visible light instead of radio waves. Researchers expect to piggyback data communications capabilities on low-power light emitting diodes, or LEDs, to create "Smart Lighting" that would be faster and more secure than current network technology."
