Lots of great info in that link even though it is from 2007...ten years ago and at that time they estimated the telephone only portion to be 65 exobytes..... I haven't read enough of it to be sure if that was annually or monthly, however even if it is annually that is 5 exobytes a month ...ten years ago.

Not to mention you would have to transfer all that data to Utah..

Just seems unrealistic to believe they could pull it off. Maybe but I would be freaking amazed if they could.
