One of the reason I made the Inerwave so tricky is because reliable FTL communication woud change the feel of the setting.
At the moment you have a sort of new frontier kind of deal going on. A wild and wooly space where anything goes. Adding FTL communications means that this shrinks the story universe quite a bit.
The baisc idea in mind is that you can relay instant transmission between any number of Interwave machines, provided none is more than one AU from the other. This will create a situation that space is much more oganized the closer to the sun you get. The further out you go, the more unreliable communications are going to be. And interstellar communication is going to be... tricky.
Of course, I'm not actually a contributing writer. If you want to increase the relay point from one AU to one lightyear or feven more, go ahead. Maybe like Speed Drives the max distance between relays dramatically increases past the Limit. Consider my idea more of a set of ideas, then anything solid. Use what you like, throw out the rest.
Though I do like the words Interwave and Wavenet, just so you know. Ansible is never a word I liked.
