Hallo,

ich habe gerade einen interessanten Vorschlag zum Transport der News
ueber den Atlantik gelesen. Zusammengefasst lautet er:

Man oder frau schicke einfach per UPS, ... Floppies ueber den Atlantik!
Die Kosten waeren etwa $600 pro Monat. Klingt interessant, oder?

Hier der Artikel

  I suppose if a day's full feed could be fitted into a disk in a compressed
  form and mailed via one of the overnight mail services (FedX, USMail, Airborne
  etc..) to a site and vice-versa ( that's $1 for the floppy + $17.50 ) it works
  out to approx $600.00 with overheads. Hey I think for a two-way transfer
  on a regular basis Airborne etc could give a coprorate discount too. It would
  atleast beat the monopoly of any PTT which has electronic monopoly. All the
  reciving site has to do is to upload it directly and distribute it locally.
  
    ....Just an idea...
