I was thinking the same thing. The bandwidth of the 747 isn't a constant. It depends on the distance between the endpoints. If I want to transfer data 30 feet from one system to another, pulling the hard drive, tossing it onto a 747 rolling by on the runway, tossing it back, and then reinstalling just blows away any LAN ever built.
