It was shown in 1993 that signals travelling parallel to the striped medium must move at the speed of light -- but it turns out that non-destructive signals perpendicular to the stripes are also possible, and these follow different rules. In particular, they can move at a speed of 2c/3 orthogonally, slower than lightspeed but faster than a spaceship can travel through vacuum.
