Can we eliminate IP? Is there a protocol that can send files as a one way broadcast? Just as we get streaming digital video on our DTH.
It's called the postal department. I believe Canonical used this method for quite some time, I don't know if they still do.
Thanks. I am googling for it but cannot get it. Is there any official name for it?
He means IP over Post/Courier. Specific name would be ``Ubuntu Shipit''. They transmit several PetaBytes of data all over the world at very cheap costs i believe.
