Well, my brief, back-of-fag-packet calculation suggests I could load about
24,000 LTO cartridges into the back of an estate car, (that's station wagon
to you). At 200GB each for the one-hour drive to my nearest data-centre
that gives me about 1.3TB/s. It's the latency that sucks.
For longer trips, how many tapes could you fit in a 747?

yeah, but your bitrate sucks (bandwidth over time)....sure, you can send 4
terabytes, but it takes two weeks to get there. :)

ok, substitute "station wagon" for "cargo container" and put it on a plane
or a ship.
Then do the math. The numbers you get boggle the mind (in terms of
bandwidth)!
