Yes, since any JXME devices will only be communicating with a JXTA proxy that
is in a PC we will not need to worry too much about secure communications
between the two for the time being.

As soon as people see these lights blinking I think that they are going to come
up with a large number of ideas for things to remotely control in the home and
also in companies.  Most of these ideas are going to require a significant
amount of computing horsepower and I think that the Embedded Java hardware that
we have been working with for the past few years will meet this demand
excellently.

The GlobalLightBlinker project is just a simple first step towards this larger
goal but we need to start somewhere and this seems like an excellent place to
start.
