How to improve space bandwidth?

Let's suppose we have found a new human colony today, somehow populating Pluto. They have good technology, much like ours and we don't want to slave them. We want to establish a communication link between us and them. How could we do it using our technology?

Ok, let's assume some things first.

• Wormhole, superdrive, novadrive, etc. was not invented yet.
• We are at 2015.
• Pluto is at 4,6 light hours from Earth.
• We have a big budget to spend.
• Our goal is to establish a 1Mb/s link (2,25 GB/5h).

With this, I think we could have some rudimentary communication established. We may send and receive videos, documentation and knowledge with a good speed. Within this scenario, we will never have a real time communication, since we can't break speed of light.

So, how do we address this issue?
