X-rays for telecommunications?

Hi:

Has the use of x-rays for telecommuncations ever been considered? I
imagine that x-ray photons would have more bandwidth than
visible-spectrum photons. Other than bandwidth, are there any
advantages to using x-rays instead of light. One major disadvantage, is
the fact that x-rays could injure humans and possible some metal
equipments by knocking electrons off the atoms -- one solution to this
would be to use a lower rate of x-rays photons per second so that the
amount of x-ray power* does not reach the danger level.


Thanks,

Radium

P.S. *Power in this case define the amount of photons per second, not
the
amount of eV per photon
