The telescope gets its sensitivity by combining signals received from a large number of different receiving dishes totaling 300 acres in receiving area. To capture all the possible hints of signals falling on its receivers when it is in operation, the receivers of SKA transmits will more data a second to its central signal processing facility than the combined data traffic rate of the entire internet in 2015.
It depresses me to think that the Kentaurians may have fallen prey to commercial television.
