Well I sent nearly 20 Gigs over the internet last night in
an internet backup of a server. This sort of service might
be feasible and cost effective for several business's and
individuals if they did not have to pay so much to transfer
the data. Imagine paying for that data at 0.20c per mb.
Then imagine doing that at 128kbps or 256kbps. Ouch.
