Sometimes I just don't get anything right.

Original:
It could be defined, for a two way data transmission system, as repeated
meaningful transmission of data x over distance d, and return in average
time t of transmission t of a meaningful response message f(x), as v =
t/(2d).
Correction:
Communication velocity of a two-way data transmission system could be
defined as v = t/(2d) for transmission over straight-line distance d of
varied data x_i and return of a modified verifiable response message f(x_i)
in average transmission-response time t, where data x_i is not transmitted
until receipt of f(x_(i-1)) is verified. The average time t would have to
be for a large set of data transmissions {...,x_i,...}.
Achieving FTL is then the condition v > c, or t < 2d/c.
