Amazon has taken this quote to heart:  "Never underestimate the
bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway."
 --- Andrew S. Tanenbaum[1]

Substitute FedEx for station wagon and drives for tapes, and you've
got Amazon's new Import/Export service.  In brief, you dump your data
onto a drive and send it to Amazon.  Amazon uploads the data to your
AWS account and sends the drive back.[2]
