Perhaps not - but is it always available to people? Not everyone manages
(or has access to the management of) the servers on which their content
resides.

Nor is file size just a transmission issue - there's also storage, and
the possibility of needing to put files onto media such as memory
sticks, CDs or even floppy discs.
