Sounds good to me. Solve the end-user problems, since they don't have the ability or care to do it themselves and doing so manually has too much latency and doesn't scale.

To do that, the telco had this hadoop cluster, where it collected _tons_ of data from home users routers, and his job was to use ML to tell the signal from the noise. I remember seeing a sample csv from this data, which contained _thousands_ of data fields (features) from each client. I was _shocked_ by the amount of (meta)data they are able to pull from home routers. These even included your wifi network name _and_ password! (it's been several years since then). And home users are _completely_ unaware of this. So my question to you folks is: - What's the policy regulations on this? I don't remember the features (thousands) but I'm pretty sure you could some profiling with it. - Is anyone aware of any public discussion on this? I have never seen it. Thanks, Giovane Moura
