Needed - a data stream

We have had email for years, attachments for years. FTP data transfer for years. We have streaming music, and streaming video.

But I would like to suggest we need "pipes". A way of streaming data, from any app running on any machine to any app running 100miles away on another.

A kind of transparent unix pipe running over WiFi, ADSL, 3G. I call it DataStream, and like Apple's Airplay it has to be utterly simple to set-up and use.

So my computer friends, get to it.
