Darkhotel is a tool re-purposed for hacking hotel's wifi, the original tool was from Hacking Team who sold it to some governments and law enforcement agencies.

At a roundtable discussion today on the topic of ‘Nation Development with Big Data Analytics’, Teradata’s Chief Technology Officer, Stephen Brobst highlighted the importance of having government agencies put in place a big data strategy that has the citizen as its focus as well as one that effectively harnesses the benefits of open data.

Ovum - Aug 5, 2015 - London - Telcos must turn big data into smart data to manage customer churn and loyalty
Utilizing big data analytics to personalize the customer experience will be crucial for telcos to manage customer churn and improve loyalty, says Ovum. It takes on average, at least 3.5 years for telcos to break even on SAC (subscriber acquisition cost), however the average customer lifetime for telcos is currently only 2 years. To offset this, telcos must look to monetize their big data analytics investments and launch initiatives that will deliver value to their customers, reduce churn propensity and reduce the overall telco SAC.
Ovum analyst, Chantel Cary, commented: “Churn rates among telcos have reached staggering heights and are climbing. Across all regions, telcos are seeing customers churn at rates as disparate as 1.5% to nearly 6% per quarter. Telcos recognize the importance of customer retention and understand that big data analytics will help to differentiate the customer experience; many, however, have hesitated to launch big data analytics initiatives that will drive personalized offers and encourage the cross-sell of products that will lead to greater loyalty. This was confirmed further in our survey results which showed that while more than 70% of telcos that have invested in big data have planned to apply big data analytics across the business, less than 20% of these telcos have been able to fully deploy analytics to support customer-focused initiatives.”
