How about using something like zoomify to tile and break it up? (if it can handle an image that size)

That way people can view it with a browser, and they don't need to download the entire image.

I've done this with ~150MP images and it's no sweat for a standard browser, so long as flash is installed.
Technically the image is currently 200mp. But the picture I took is 60mp. Since the stitched image was so extremely wide, I needed to expand the sky. What I did to bring it up to a standard 3:2 ratio suitable for printing was to do a "Layer via Copy" on the sky, and then do a Transform > Scale, and stretched the sky up to fill in the missing portion of that ratio.

It ended up looking much better than having a crazy long image that wouldn't really be too easy to print with such an odd ratio. But what technically came out of the camera was actually 60mp.
