2: Distance from Los Angeles to NYC: 2790 miles. Distance in kilometers: 4469.58. Kilometers per hours: 19,155, for arrival in 14 minutes. NASA's X-43A has a top speed of 10,000 km/hr (by comparison, the SR-71 has a top speed of 3,529 km/h). So NASA's fastest plane, the X-43A, could not make it in time to satisfy the requirements.
It is possible to say that sometimes in the future, perhaps distant future, all things are ultimately possible, but that's not what we're talking about, is it. We're not worried whether sometime in the future we will be able to zoom around the galaxy and perhaps Andromeda on wormhole ships, in fancy flights of the imagination that would even surpass the bounds of science fiction and enter the realm of fantasy. No, rather we get silly requirements from managers who wants these things delivered in the next twelve to eighteen months.
Also note that a data center that crawled the entire internet daily would probably have to re-implement Google, and even Google most probably doesn't crawl the entire net daily.

We can put an ICBM on someone's doorstep ~8000km away in just over half of an hour. Putting a package ~4500km away in 15 may be doable. You just better be ready to catch it at a couple miles per second.
