this implies network operators will suddenly find a clue, something which will never happen. ever.

Clue is generally available in exchange of money. However it requires a seed of foresight or clue to hire more in. Or a business neccessity and a strike of luck. Clue only pays in the long run, so todays quarter-capitalism does not promote clue.
