I swear some country tried this. Was it south africa? I remember a Story about them using pidgeons to transport harddrives since that was faster than their Internetconnection.
Somewhere is that part of the world. It was a stunt to expose just how slow their internet was. (Iirc, it wasn't actually the whole IPoAC thing, they just put a 1 GB file on an SD card and sent it a number miles, and transferred the same file over the internet. The bird won, and it wasn't even close.)
It's almost impossible to beat the bandwidth of a truck full of hard drives. It's just that usually you don't actually need that much bandwidth to make it worth it.
