Whereas if you speak to the departments inside telcos doing the daily 
work, they make a loss in terms of the profit-centre calculations that 
are done. Scraping some numbers from a database "for intelligence 
purposes" is one thing, but putting it all into a form that's acceptable 
to a court as evidence may be another.
