FedEx vs Internet, Round 1. FedEx wins ?
Yes it is shock for me too. FedEx it seems can carry data faster than internet
FedEx Bandwidth
Latency not so good though 
lol! Good point.
That got me to thinking about the MicoSD cards and how long that would take to fill them. Using an average 25 MB/s transfer speed and the 1.6 Petabytes in the example I get about 5900 days or 16 years ::. Holy slow transfers. Maybe there is some mistake but that sounds slow.
What about station wagons 
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

Not really. The start of the first hard disk would transfer in seconds
via Internet, but the last hard disk would transfer in days or weeks. So
latency over Internet is not that good, either.
