Progress = Pigeon

When reading an article on the progress of 3G and 4G cellular phone networks I noticed this excert-

OFDM networks at close to 1Gbps, while others like Wi-Lan are showing off connections at high speed, up to 100 kilometers per hour.

Data transmission speeds of 100 kilomoters per hour? It seems a bit slow to me, it must be that IP-over-pigeon tech I’ve been reading about.
