The short answer is “I failed.” We made a game effort with respect to the real-time elements of the converged prepaid/postpaid rating system we were building at the time, but ultimately it just didn’t work… we had about a week’s worth of computer science we needed done, and about ten person-years of computer programming, and the two just aren’t fungible. They were nice guys, though.
Wow. What happened next?
