Planarwide Web

While banging around the Cage, my ears skegged some new chant concerning the darks of a plan by a group of canny spellslingers to link together a web of crystal globes. In doing so, access to any subject imaginable can be exchanged over great distances. Anywhere within the Great Ring to the City of Doors itself and nearly everywhere in between. Chant would be flying through this planar web faster than a cutter can lann them.
I interviewed some bloods to get their reaction to this barmy idea. Haglynn Meroots, a cager alchemist, stated, "A barmy idea it may be, but if it works it could help my business. I might want one o' them globes for meself."
A member of the Guvners, Porlance Geheadyian, insists that any addle-cove leatherhead that twigs to such a sodding bob will find himself a peeled rube. Most likely with no jink left in his pouches when the whole thing hits the blinds. "Park your ears and mark my words. Be peery and bar your bone-box from rattling such barmy chant lest you be known as a clueless sodding berk long after you're in the dead-book."
Sensate Wendlew Q'tuone replied that she really didn't care if the darks were from a bad bottle of bub or not. She would like to feel, smell, and taste such an interesting sounding artifact as the globes would represent. Before I could finish the interview she set out to find one.
I also interviewed a blood by the name of Gill Bates who is skilled in the use of conduits. The cutter told me that he is sure that the web would require constant updates and would probably force the general public into using globes only compatible with certain schools of enchantment. His feeling was that something like this could bring a fella like him a lot of jink.
How would it work you ask? The exact mechanics of how the globes would work has not been lanned by this culler. But the darks are that the globes would be linked through a complex "web" of conduits and gates. They would actually allow cutters to wigwag with each other from case to kip; burg to anthill; or even plane to plane. The conduits, however would only be large enough to carry information or maybe even small items.
In order to access the web, a cutter first has to procure an enchanted globe. Globes can be expensive, but shops like Passageway, Bellstuff, or Comepicker may offer cycle lease agreements. He would then have to contact a planarweb servicer. The servicer would then connect the cutter's globe to a local "hubby" conduit. The "hubby" would direct the view from the globe to whatever location specified by the user. This culler is sure the servicers would be a barmy bunch as they deal with conduits day in and day out. Some strange shop names have already been suggested like Planelink, Brainspring and Abode Of Links.
In conclusion, my opinion is that such an idea is completely barmy. The idea of a web of information accessible by any cutter anywhere not only came from the brain-box of an addle-cove, but is the blinds. This concept could never be achieved. I'll skeg what I can and let you know if the idea produces any results, but I have a feeling this could just be a bunch of cony-catchers out to peel the gullys.
