This is RELATIVE speed. Going 300 km/h the bits at first have to catch up with the train. The 10 KB/s are on top. Not sooo bad - I would say.

Umm. What was the distribution speed of radio waves again ... I guess it'd be the train that would have to catch up there ;)

I think radio wave length is the deciding factor.

Benjamin, does that mean when you're traveling towards the data source, you're actually exceeding the media capacity?
