> Third, it is truly interesting data. AT&T used to send out press releases about how many holiday calls they had handled each year; similarly, modern telcos often boast how many handsets have been at sports events and stadium concerts. OT: That's not really interesting data, it's flashy data at most. In those situation, we have a very specific image what data we expect to see - it would be more puzzling if someone big sports event didn't cause a spike in mobile connections from the stadium. But I don't see how any new knowledge is generated from this stuff despite press releases telling everyone what they already know.
