While "hindsight" allows a far more accurate "load forecasting model"

it does imply that VM naively ignored a wealth of "trend analysis" in the public domain over recent years and/or lacked the necessary sophisticated DOCSIS modelling software to derive more accurate predictive load forecasts by area?
Clearly we'll never know the details as to what "wet finger" the VM's Systems Architect employed or financial constraints that presumably prevented engaging the usual typical University based Research Projects or Independent Consultancy available.
Interesting to see what contingency and forward planning has now been effected for the predictable increased demand during the 2012 Olympics.
Again we'll never know whether VM have "learnt from their mistakes" until the "event" occurrs!
