Why do you say that? The latest High Throughput commercial satellites do 500Gpbs downlink throughput, so shouldn't the transfer time for a petabyte of data be reasonable?
Of course those satellites are configured to transmit data all over the earth, so the technology would have to be used differently for this application.
