I'm currently working on a project to count usage. Complex is the right word
for it. The volumes of data that have to be accounted for is where the
problem comes in. I should be done in real time but few seem to agree with
that view and prefer to do everything in batches.... problem is that if you
get behind with the batches you risk never catching up again.

Now while everyone is trying to count data at the agrigation points.
