We already knew that pigskin fanatics in 223 countries would be able to catch Super Bowl XLII this Sunday, but thanks to Raytheon’s Global Broadcasting Service (GBS), even sailors and Marines stationed aboard ships in the Pacific Ocean will be able to catch the Giants attempt to mar the Patriots’ currently unblemished record. The aforementioned technology has been in use for over a decade delivering “high-speed, multimedia broadcasts of mission critical information to military and government decision makers,” but this weekend, it’ll be used to bring home entertainment to folks far, far away from home. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like the broadcast will be in HD this go ’round, but we suppose any football is better than none at all, right?
