LOFT IN TRANSIT
In a race between carrier pigeons and broadband staged in rural Yorkshire,
the birds won the day. Ten pigeons carrying USB sticks were released from a
farmhouse at the same time that a five-minute video upload was begun. When
the pigeons reached their destination almost 100 miles away, most of the
300MB file travelling by broadband was still in transit. Tref Davies, who
serves on the board of the ISPA (Internet Service Providers' Association)
organised the stunt to raise publicity for a campaign demanding better
rural broadband.
