Just poking this thread. Wondering where the MSM fit into this tiered structure. A few years ago now I did a lot of research into firbre optic networks. Specifically big ones. Ones that might cover a whole continent. This was maybe 8 years ago. The capacity of these networks was..... lets say impressive. That was then. We might say, thats not surprising if that network was say, NASA or maybe the Defence guys. So what? we would say. What if it wasn't a government network? Would we be surprised they had access to this level of network capability? You hear of facilities that easily store the whole library of something like congress. Storage is one thing. What if you could move that archive from one side of the continent to the other in a matter of a couple hours. What other organisations might want to transmit rather large volumes of data in a matter of a couple hours or less! I'm asking questions I know the answers to but sometimes it pays to be oblique.

How much data can you transmit via satellite? Is it as much as fibre optic?
