Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from determining a venue value index before deploying wireless communication in the area. A method may include identifying the one or more wireless coverage issues within an area. The method may also include receiving data demand information for the area having the identified one or more wireless coverage issues. In addition, the method may include receiving or determining a total cost of ownership. The total cost of ownership may include a cost of fixing the one or more wireless coverage issues within the area. Further, the method may include calculating a venue value index of the area based on at least one of the total cost of ownership, the data demand information, or an average spectrum efficiency. The method may in addition include performing at least one network administrative task based on the venue value index.

Abstract: The method of selecting a data item of the invention comprises the steps of receiving a first data item (35) of a first type, e.g. a short program description, and selecting the first data item (35), e.g. for display. The method further comprises selecting a second data item (37) of a second type, e.g. a long program description, instead of the first data item (35) of the first type upon receiving the second data item (37) and not selecting the first data item (35) again upon receiving the first data item (35) again. The electronic device of the invention comprises electronic circuitry configured to perform the method of the invention. The computer program product of the invention comprises software for enabling a programmable device to perform the method of the invention.
