78. It does not matter that the speed of a wave front is, according to L. Brillouin, Wave Propagation and Group Velocity (Academic, New York, 1960), always equal to unity. Irrespective of this fact, any other signal can be used to synchronize the clock as well, and, therefore, is not permitted to travel faster than light.
79. A.D. Dolgov and I.D. Novikov, Phys. Lett. B 442, 82 (1998). This consideration needs to be supplemented by the easy-to-prove statement that the group velocity adds with the speed of the reference frame according to the standard relativistic law, valid once the polarization operator eigenvalues are Lorentz-scalar functions including external vectors and tensors.
