The Wi-Fi Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is well behind us now but I just came across some data that seemed very interesting to me. Levi Stadium, host of Super Bowl 50, provides free wi-fi to the fans in attendance. While that's not unusual, how much data traveled through the wi-fi is. 10.1 terabytes of data were used over the course of the game. That's enough for over 6,000 hours of HD video. Also, it crushed the previous record that was set last season at 6.23 terabytes. This just goes to show how rapidly technology is spreading throughout world and how much the fans are invested in it.
