GR6 - User Testing
Briefing:
Imagine you are analyst at Boingo looking to make additions to your WiFi towers in South Africa. You want to look at population and rainfall data in that region to find optimum places to add towers. Already loaded into your interface, you have 3 already existing data sets, and one dataset of new additions.
Useful background information:
Satellites (going up in 2013-2014) will provide WiFi coverage over Africa, but their frequency range can't transmit signals through rain. WiFi towers do work in rain. Many African tribes are nomadic, moving around in search of water and food. Your job is to find locations for new towers to maximize the number of people with WiFi access, taking into account the data.

Tasks:
Task 1: View the relationships between two of these sets on the map.
Task 2: Find three regions without WiFi coverage, and add new towers there.
Task 3: Analyze their costs and move the most expensive towers to places with the highest population and lowest rainfall.
