Carrier pigeon used to send data; faster than broadband

IT staff at a South African financial services company plan to use a pigeon to transfer data because they say it's faster than their broadband Internet connection.

The company, The Unlimited Group, says four gigabytes of data takes six hours to transfer between two corporate offices, which are 50 miles apart. A locally owned carrier pigeon named Winston, however, can carry a flash drive that distance in 45 minutes.
