Yes indeed, I imagine a situation where some natural resource is modulated such that, 20 minutes later here on Earth, 1000's of Petabytes of data is received such that, if re-transmitted, it will be reliably received across the distance of space. Lets say 20minutes, 1 year, 10 year and ... 1000 year intervals .. might be the line item deals on offer.

Truly a sci-fi concept, inasmuch as I have no idea of the science involved, but I can still imagine some scenario where such valuable data becomes committed to eternal space.
