This assumes the insert doesn't result in negative fitness (could very

If the information is the history of human civilization, that may very well

Eventually this will happen. Maybe a video recorded into a DNA of a bacteria
synthesized in a portable device ("diamond age", anyone ?)

Lousy latency. Just put your DNA-encoded message in a microdot on your
dead tree letter, and PCR/sequence on arrival.

It's not, because electron accelerators are a) expensive b) tend to damage
mail.
Besides, the few ug or ng dry DNA in the microdot is not a living being.
