Pigeons, better and cheaper than broadband

Post by ccb056 »

Is the bandwidth of broadband (ADSL) wider then the wingspan of a pigeon? A few days ago, an experiment took place near the Sea of Galilee, attempting to confront two technologies: ADSL vs. pigeons' enabled wireless technology. During the experiment, 3 pigeons carried 4 GB (gigabytes) achieving what apparently looks as pigeons' record in data transfer to a given distance. Will B2P (back to pigeons) save an endangered technology?
