Machine-generated event telemetry from mobile phones, cars, etc can easily be tens of millions per second in real-world applications. Human-generated event telemetry (e.g. text messaging) peaks at hundreds of thousands per second if you are working on global scales.

There is virtually an unlimited number of applications that could generate 16k events per second (million per minute).
