Level 3 is functioning not only as a transport provider for smaller content providers, but also as an aggregated negotiation service, though in this case the content provider, Netflix, is big enough to matter. (Some years ago, when they were DVDs by mail only, it was estimated that they had a bandwidth about 1/3 that of the total (US?) internet, just with slightly higher latency) (or significantly lower latency, if you were still on modems.)
A station wagon full of magtape, yes. Henry Spencer? I recently calculated the capacity of a 747F full of LTO-4 tapes; it's about 8.7 exabytes. I *think* it's within weight and balance for the airframe. Cheers, -- jra
