While IT equipment might be usable, I don't know about the equipment or
the infrastructure being a commodity yet.  Even "just" HD-SDI often
requires solid state storage and >Gbit connectivity.

Also, when you've got really big files, it is not uncommon for Fedex or
UPS to be able to deliver a drive overnight (with LOTS of sneakers)
faster  than the file can be transferred (also usually overnight) over
typical, "commodity" data networks.

Thanks Mark!

This is a good example of how one can leverage commodity IT
infrastructure.

Looks like HDD will dominate until solid state memory wins the day...

P.S.

Given the fact that millions of people now upload SD and HD content to
You Tube...

Perhaps Mark has an insight into where traditional broadcasters stand
with Metropolitan and Wide Area Network transfers of video files. One
would think that many content producers and stations would have big
enough pipes to handle file interchanges without the need for sneakers.
