It's not a "size" thing. I have never really liked the idea of sensors doing INSERTs, etc. I'd rather have central loading facility.  If all comms were sent over a single comms channel it becomes easier employ encryption (tcl has an SSL extension for sockets). You and I might have dedicated VPNs for getting data securely back to the NOC, but I think an "internal" solution for accomplishing this is a good thing.
