That's because most people used dial-up modems, which don't have enough bandwidth to transmit video well.

...says, "most people have not seen an ops center like ours, not even at NASA in Houston." Automated readers, located every 30 miles along the 33,000-mile system, scan the bar codes of passing cars and locomotives--basically the rail version of a toll tag--and wirelessly transmit that information. Customers can log on to the company's website to track shipments in near real time or get the data sent to their BlackBerries...
