7013

Canadians are spending more and more of their lives on mobile devices. Mobile internet plans are expensive and allowances small.At the same time, Wi-Fi networks are everywhere with cheap, fast internet and unused bandwidth available.How can we help bridge this gap between providers and consumers who want to buy and sell of fast, cheap Wi-Fi?

Design Challenge

7015

Helped identify — · The target audience, · How problem is currently solved, · The context when used, · Which technology is being used

PACT Analysis

Technologies / What tools are used now? How might new developments be used?

• Currently, there is no way for personal Wi-Fi hotspots to be sold to, and bought by, consumers who need a Wi-Fi connection.

• The closest are free Wi-Fi connections, often at crowded locations: coffee shops, malls, transit stations• Technology is platform agnostic because most technology can use Wi-Fi.• Would use the app on their own devices.• Would need real-time system to update whether the Wi-Fi hotspots are available, how much the connection

would cost, how many other users were on the connection.

PACT ANALYSIS

PACT,SCENARIOS, &MoSCoW

People / Relevant User Characteristics and Skills

• Audience is 18–65 year old males or females (must have credit card and devices).• All kinds of relationships (married, common-law, it’s complicated, single).• People who travel (vacations, high-level sports, day trips across the border, etc.), go out to events, work

away from home/office, etc.• Low-income households or individuals - may not be able to afford monthly internet plans.• People looking to earn additional income.• Users don’t need to be experts in Wi-Fi to use the service.• Familiar with computers and mobile technology (apps and connecting to Wi-Fi).• App would be available to differently abled people if they’re able to use their devices.• Culture & language agnostic-people with devices know what Wi-Fi is and how to use it.• Heterogeneous user groups.• Discretionary users - They will use the app when they need Wi-Fi, otherwise they’ll wait until they return

to their home Wi-Fi, or use their phone plan’s data.• Infrequent users mostly - connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot when they don’t want to use their data, use faster,

more stable connection, or do not use the internet enough to warrant a monthly plan (i.e. senior citizens).

Activities / How is the activity currently carried out? Why? What can be improved?

• Currently people go to Starbucks, McDonald’s, libraries, and other public spaces for free Wi-Fi.• Wi-Fi usage at airports is increasingly popular.• When not using public Wi-Fi, people will use their phone plan data to access the internet, or they wait until

they can use a Wi-Fi connection they regularly use and are already familiar and/or comfortable with.• Primary uses are email and social media with online purchases and banking being the least popular ways

wifi is used outside of the home.• Current accessibility of public Wi-Fi is sparse. When available, consists of a tedious connection process.

Context / The Environment of the Activity

• People can use the app for nearby Wi-Fi access mostly in an urban environment.• Users can drive to a stronger Wi-Fi connection in rural areas if phone data is limited or spotty.• Not limited to time of day, though the Wi-Fi source owners can set times.• Physical environment - usually indoors (can get connection outdoors), usually quiet (could be noisy),

sometimes stressful if needing Wi-Fi for something urgent (he user is just browsing/killing time).• Social environments such as trips away from home where a costly data plan would normally be required,

working outside of the office, events such as a day at an amusement park or tourist attraction, etc.• Circumstances such as the need to upload a term paper, video chat with a potential client, ran out of data,

or a quick trip across a border, are all situations that may require Wi-Fi access.• The cost of data plans and data overages are heartless, ferocious, and murderous.• There is a negative perception about public Wi-Fi networks being flawed and should not be trusted.

· Important to connect quickly for emergencies or time sensitive · Good to have for people who are travelling · Good for people who want to earn extra passive income from their home network

Scenarios SCENARIOS PACT,SCENARIOS, &MoSCoW

Kori, Aaron, and Pj

Jennifer Wagner

Jennifer is a soccer Mom from Toronto with two competitive kids who travel often to different tournaments across the North and South America throughout the year. The cost for travel plans is expensive and with so many different tournament locations it makes it difficult to commit to a plan covering a specific region. She wants to stay connected while away from home to keep friends and family up-to-date on the kids game results, while also being able to respond to work emails as well.

Sergio Michalowski

Sergio is a senior citizen who is recently widowed. He is a very active and social person who is comfortable using social chat platforms to connect with friends and family. His monthly data usage is far below what his already limited plan provides him with, so an alternative, more cost effective option that allows Sergio to connect on a need be basis would be ideal to save money but still be able to interact with friends and family whenever he would like.

Kristin Moran

Kristin is a single Mom who looks to earn additional income to help support her and her son. She currently rents out the basement of her home and welcomes the opportunity to lease out services she already subscribes to whenever possible.

Bryan Sutton

Bryan is a gap-year student traveling abroad for the next 6-8 months. Due to his location changing frequently, he finds it difficult to find reliable Wi-Fi in different places around the world. He carries his phone with him to play music from while commuting but has not purchased a data plan to save on costs. He would like to be able to connect to networks as often as possible to post travel pics and updates, keep everyone at home informed about his adventures, check emails, as well as look up information on upcoming travel plans as well.

Melissa Torrecillas

Melissa lost her job in manufacturing over a year ago and has been having a difficult time trying to secure a new position ever since. Given her situation, Melissa has had to cut back on different services including her monthly internet plan, relying on using public Wi-Fi locations to send resumes and take online courses to upgrade her skillset.

Tom Keegan

Tom is a out of town on a business trip and is staying at a hotel where the Wi-Fi is has a weak connection and is extremely slow. He needs to send a presentation to his clients before he leaves to his conference panel but the slow connection is preventing him from doing so in a timely manner.

Identified the must have features — · Buy and Sell Wi-Fi, payment workflow, encryption

Identify future functionality and pathways — · Sells ads? Free for Dropbox

MoSCoW MoSCoW PACT,SCENARIOS, &MoSCoW

Kori, Aaron, and Pj

Must Have

• A way for people to sell their Wi-Fi (host)• A way for people to rent the Wi-Fi (consumer)• A way for people to find the Wi-Fi (on a map)• A way for people to let others know they’re

selling their Wi-Fi• An enhanced encryption service (beyond what

current public Wi-Fi spaces offer e.g. VPN services) to ensure data and privacy is secure for both host and user

Should Have

• A way to rate the Wi-Fi networks - speed, strength, range, max. data usage

• A way to categorize the Wi-Fi networks - house, apartment, private, public

• A way for users to rate and review the Wi-Fi hotspots - rate speed, Wi-Fi accessibility, signal quality

Could Have

• A way to sell ads over the connection • A “Premium” option, providing extremely fast

and secure Wi-Fi • Integration with other services like Dropbox,

Google Drive, to make the data free or cost less• Integrate with car share services/car rental

services making participating Wi-Fi hotspots free while they’re away from home

• Promotional codes and discounts

Won’t Have

• The first time around, the app will not have a way of selling Wi-Fi equipment that is compatible with the app and easy to set up

• Augmented reality component where the user can view the Wi-Fi hotspot through the device’s camera

· For buying, the user wants to connect quickly and easily and accomplish their task. · For selling, analytics about other users’ use and how much money they’ve made came to the forefront of the design.
