Star, Zee, Sony and other broadcasters should send us plane loads of CDs and DVDs of their programmes every month instead of satellite transmission. ;) World Space Radio should follow suit. The Boeing-737 can have a small opening in its belly so that the packages can be dropped over our buildings while the plane is in flight itself.
No, i don't mean broadcasting like TV channels. In a data transmission, the file has to be transferred over the carrier, and transmitted _completely_ for the file to be of any use. If air frieght+courier method can transmit several terabytes of data within couple of days then its very economical.
