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 csiro logo they have looks very familiar: https://regmedia.co.uk/2012/10/08/cisco.jpg https://www.csiro.au/~/media/Web-team/Images/CSIRO_Logo/logo...

How 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?

Of course, they don't go into detail (instead making a very odd analogy to a bread machine), but I think the implication is that the data is processed immediately before being recorded. A similar approach is used at the LHC.
A better analogy might be; when you take a picture on your phone, it comes out of the camera chip in a form equivalent to a bitmap file. But those are big and a pain to deal with, so its converted to jpeg or something else reasonable before being stored, perhaps losing a bit of irrelevant noise in the process.
Actually, it generates 5.2T B /sec. "Its antennas are now churning out 5.2 terabytes of data per second"
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.

I did mention this at an outreach talk with Astroblack morphologies[0] and Tim O'Brien[1] who pointed out that ISM scintillation was on his slides
I did think up 100s of radio telescopes in a bird cage orbit at the distance of Jupiter, impractical of course but Space VLBI does reward thinking big.
Isn't it worth having telescopes well out the ecliptic plane, I seem to recollect VLBI is about filling in the UV plane. It was a long time ago, and it was just a second year physics project.

Cisco went to court... and lost. Here's an article where I 've learned that there's a stylized version of the Golden Gate in Cisco's logo and that CSIRO's logo is the shape of Australia. http://www.itnews.com.au/news/csiro-beats-cisco-in-fight-ove...
Im betting they want to play down the link to the city name. "Frisco" is a week trademark because of its common use. Cisco is akin to the "Syfy" channel. You might win on the letters, but not the spoken sounds ... As oppossed to the famous canadian case of "MikeRoeSoft.com" where sound trumped letters.
