Ever dump an inventory sync file in XML across the internet, and wait for the 700mb sucker to come thru ! (ftp, http, or ..)
Seriously tho, PO's and other common business documents are easy, usually smaller in byte size, but product catalogs (especially when you also then add in digital content such as image and/or digital audio), and also things like inventory snapshots of available products are notoriously big files. I agree that there may be alternate business processes in the future that 'relieve the pressure' of having to thigh big files like this across the wire but what hurts today is it's an existing business practice for some and what's more is their information contents are so crucial to running a business process. Data compression with XML please. You'd be doing the business world a hudge favor. It's also a natural, and I'm so surprised people haven't institutionalized it till now. I do keep hearing the bandwidth arguement all the time, but there's still a significant population of businesses around the world that don't have the luxury of easy access to big fat bandwidth pipes to pump information thru.
