**Secure Data/Info Transfer**

A backpack full of hard drives moved instantly from point to point. 100 TB from NY to LA in 30 minutes. 

Like a courier service combined with a logistics company on steroids. Two professionals come to your office, pick up the items and take them to their armored car, where one blinks back to a local office, then gives the drive/data to the long haul traveler, who takes 5-10 across the country to the other local office, where another milk run transporter blinks from the office to another armored car parked outside of the recipient's office. 

The drivers are following a milk run route pattern, while the transporters are following a hub and spoke network. The hub and spoke system would probably be faster than the armored cars, so there would be time to consolidate loads for the long haul trips.

If the average transporter needs to generate \$400 in revenue per day and can carry 20,000 mile/lbs, the minimum cost is 2 cents per mile/lb. Doubling that to account for some overhead, 4 cents per mile/lb means that moving a 10 TB drive 1000 miles in say, 2 hours, costs \$40. 

AWS charges \$87/TB of one way transfer, and that's about the cheapest you will find, plus the cost to move the data in and maintain infrastructure. Transferring 10 TB at 1 Gbps will take over 24 hours. Increased speed and security make this a premium service, so 1 hour rush service could charge \$1.00 per mile/lb (slightly more expensive than AWS, but 25x faster), while 2-3 hour standard service could charge \$0.50, and 'no-rush' same day could charge \$0.20 (still faster than AWS, and 1/4th the cost). It would dominate bulk data transfer and long distance corporate courier services, and with that rush service, a single transporter could earn \$20,000/day in revenue, or \$4,000/day at the 'no rush' rate.
