@JSWolf,
had you ever paid a bill for data transfer via satellite? I did and can truly say: it matters.
It doesn't matter if the data is on an server around the world when you need to download it via an expensive link or a line where you can count the bytes by transferring when you have to pay the time you use the line (what mostly is expensive too).
Theses days for a lot people this don't matter because of a "perfect" infra structure. But a lot of people in the world don't have this kind of luxury. I have this luxury too, but some friends of mine not and I need all the time remember that if we like to do stupid things like eMail attachments or document transfers.
