Stilling waiting for when we put a radio telescope at L3 and L2 giving mankind a 14Tm baseline interferometry. The current 12Mm interferometry is nice, but earth is so small.
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder hits the big-data highway

#12Note that the actual collecting area will be 4072 square meters [1]. 12 out of 36 antennas are currently working.
That's roughly 31 Kbps per square millimeter.
Or 1 bit per second per 33 square microns.

#13I wonder how much of that can be compressed for transfer and storage.

#14The csiro logo they have looks very familiar:

Either case, I doubt it is "15% of the internets current data rate" as they claim. E.g. the newish submarine cable between the US and Japan has 60 Tb capacity. And that's just one cable.
A large chunk of that capacity will be for private use, not for the capital-I Internet. 280Tbps is about right for interdomain Internet traffic, it lines up with Cisco's predictions/measurements: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-pr...

What private use requires that much bandwidth?
Re: The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder hits the big-data highway
#16For Americans, that's 2.00773TB/s per Square Mile.
Are those Metric terabytes (1000^4), or in freedom units (1024^4)?
Should be tebibytes (TiB) for the latter, though binary prefixes don't have much adoption outside of the software world.

Inter region traffic of large cloud providers.

#18We've reverted the title from the submitted “New Australian Square Kilometer Array Generates 5.2Tb/s”. One of the reasons the guidelines ask us to prefer original titles is because it's surprisingly difficult to generate new ones that remain accurate.
Re: The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder hits the big-data highway
#19How do you even begin to deal with that much data per second? What do they do with it? Storing more than a few minutes of data isn't practical is it? Do they process it in realtime?

#20For Americans, that's 2.00773TB/s per Square Mile.
And 6.353 x 10^16 nibbles per furlong^2 per fortnight
