    This really needs an update for each carrier to transport multiple packets at once.
    Based on RFC2549 it seems each carrier can transport up to 10g. That’s roughly 40 MicroSD cards. The current largest MicroSD cards are 2TB, so that’s 80TB/carrier. It seems the smallest response time is 3,000s.
    That means the theoretical top transfer rate could be roughly 213Gbps.

    Edit: Although it seems the carriers could do as much as 75g. That’s 300 MicroSD cards or 600TB. At 5km that makes 1.6Tbps!

      Not to mention it needs a security update. Gotta figure out a way to encrypt those pigeons!
