Yes, so different...

Here's why: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10462
Terabyte Firewire/USB2.0 hard drive for $979

If your network has to feed terabyte drives like that one,
would you prefer to do it with unicast or with 
a combination of multicast, peer-2-peer and CDNs?
Wireless offers the possibility of cheap, simple
multicast, depending on how it is configured.
