Mid-Afternoon Market — November 16, 2023

Locator: 46070SWIFT.  

Taylor Swift: more records. One concert: 29 terabytes of data.

AT&T’s network alone moved 28.9 terabytes of data during the busiest day of Taylor’s three-day tour stop at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Set 10 of 13 new records. The other records? NFL championship games. 
The company estimates 1TB of data represents about 200,000 photos or 400 hours of video moving across its network. 28.9TB is a staggering amount of photo and video sharing. [Think cloud, AAPL, AMZN, MSFT, NVDA.]
That’s the most data AT&T’s network has moved at any stadium for any event this year — the average Cowboys game day at the stadium moves about 21 terabytes of data. 
Swifties also moved record amounts of AT&T data at various other stadium tour stops: 23 terabytes of data at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, 12 terabytes of data at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and 8.6 terabytes at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

Other headlines:

AAPL: dividend today? 

Air travel: finally. The only thing that can explain that uptick in air travel: fans flying to Taylor Swift concerts. It is amazing mainstream media cannot connect the dots.

Copper: whoo-hoo! Compare “max,” SCCO vs FCX.
