IPoD actually has really high throughput.

According to wikipedia Carrier pigeons typically travel ~1000km at ~100km/h and can carry 75g comfortably. a microsd card weighs about 0.5g and we have 1Tb ones now so our pigeon could carry about 150Tb per trip (sidenote that'll cost ~20K so packet loss would really suck) . that's an impressive 33Gb/s at the 1000km range. the 30million ms ping might be annoying though.
