Yup. The object isn't moving very far or very fast, it's just moving it's other end a little bit, but very very far away.

But the practical aspect is, the higher the frequency, the more energy is needed to reverse the object for the next datum to be sent. But then your starting to break other laws of physics by trying to find enough energy to do that. Ie, can't find enough energy.

But, if you could make this object almost massless, then you could have a high enough frequency to transmit a good bit of data.
