Splunk has developed a analytics engine that allows users to ask just about any question of his data and apply time to the question and responses to see if abnormal activities are happening and if responses to the query are taking too long.
The proposal will include requirements that mobile phone companies alert customers if they are about to rack up abnormal fees, such as those charged for sending too many text messages or downloading too much data.
They say the expanded financial data would allow anti-terrorist agencies to better understand normal money-flow patterns so they can spot abnormal activity.
