Carrier pigeons have won a race against rural broad band after delivering USB keys more quickly than a computer using rural broadband was able to download.
Ten pigeons carrying USB keys were released from a Yorkshire farm on Thursday. They reached their destination in Skegness, 120 miles away, within an hour and a quarter.
Meanwhile, a five-minute video download which was started at the moment of release had only managed to upload 24 per cent of a 300MB file within that time.
Imagine the possibilities for the Piazza San Marcos in Venice... it could become the world's largest internet router, LOL

Carrier pigeons after a 125 years may again become popular as the only way one can sent a private message when you consider the government wants to, without warrants, wiretap your phone, electronic and all Internet Activity. It is foreseeable government would then make it a law all people buying bird seed fill out a federal form the merchant would have to immediately submit to a law enforcement agency.
