The article seems to have updated. It now reads "In reality, an MMS or email is anywhere from a thousand to a hundred thousand times more data than an SMS." Given that the previous paragraph says that it's an "email containing photo(s) and/or video(s)", that seems perfectly reasonable (it puts the range between ~140 KB and ~14 MB).
- vacri 15y agoSending emails with 14MB attachments will make your sysadmin hunt you down with a pitchfork.
- nitrogen 15y agoIf that's the case, your sysadmin either needs to stop living in the past, or provide something more convenient than e-mail. Storage and LAN bandwidth are ridiculously cheap.

- bxc 15y agoIf we're making inappropriate price comparisons, that 14mb is half a cent of hard-drive space. A whole 3 characters worth of SMS!
- vacri 15y agoStop living in the past? Sure. The Cloud is the new fad, everyone's talking about it. We have our company email managed in the cloud. LAN bandwidth and local storage has nothing to do with the bottlenecks in this system.
