graph theory - Infinite Ramsey theorem with infinitely many colours

Clearly, it is possible to colour the edges of an infinite complete graph so that it does not contain any infinite monochromatic complete subgraph. Now what about the following?




Let $G$ be the complete graph with vertex set the
positive integers. Each edge of $G$ is then coloured c with probability $frac{1}{2^c}$, for
$c = 1, 2, dots$ What is the probability
that G contains an infinite
monochromatic complete subgraph?




It is unclear for me if the answer should be $0, 1$, or something in between.
