AT&T engineers, lab rats, IT freaks, and yes - even our vendors...

I can think of a lot of names who should apply to speak here.  I went to their Data Day in Seattle, but never finished the blog entry to share with y'all.  This guy's legit.  The talks at Data Day Seattle were intensely detailed, but frankly, some of the talks were also just introducing people in how "they" were patching their data acquistion, parsers, and query structures together.

We deal / dealt with more complex stuff than a lot of what I've seen out here in the wilds with data swamps larger than most companies can imagine.  That said, they're catching up with things like "a billion searches a day," or "2.7 petabytes daily," "600,000 devices."  It's odd to me that none of the telecom providers - Verizon, T-Mobile, much less AT&T don't have any presenters in any of these meetups or conferences.  That's whacked.

I'd love to see someone speak to how network management layers are built, or element management layers.  The physicality of security would be a great topic too.  Everyone seems to be all over access control - Sarbanes Oxley seems to be catching up with people.  How soon will the intricacies of E-911 be pushed down to our personal wearable devices?

Anyways, here are their guidelines
