Question Beluga as a commercial freighter?

I've had a quick search & couldn't see this as being discussed thoroughly before, if it has, I apologise for going over old ground Ratty!

The Beluga has recently come through Oz for the AVV airshow & I was wondering how feasible it would be to market it as a short range type of freighter. I imagine it's niche would be just like the spoke & hub of the pax carriers, supporting the "big dogs".

A market, like Oz, would be perfect for this type of freighter. It would allow smaller ports to feed the major gateways with pre-built units etc.

Any thoughts chaps, or would you like some of what I'm smoking!!
