The communications industry is faced with transaction volumes in the billions of records per day. It is expected to grow rapidly over the coming years in large part due to increased adoption of smart devices, but also the fact that any one consumer now holds a number of different devices, each generating many gigabytes of data every day.

Having a few days off over the past week allowed me to get in some much needed afternoon television watching.
