Google or Amazon should offer to sponsor it and make the data accessible in their respective cloud computing platforms. There's tons of potential for data analysis / consultancy companies to work on this data and it's too big to process anywhere else.

The major cost of the data is gathering it not distributing it. But I agree this is something that needs to be archived.
