The survey is very funny:
Would you like to have a nice house?
How about a nice house with a nice car?
Hmmm, how about a nice house with a nice car and an airplane?
Please rate from low- to high benefit...
The answers are 100% predictable, so why bother?
You should show that survey to your Duncan Simester (MIT Sloan Marketing Professor) he would probably suggest some improvements (like: "discard the results and try again...")

Except that MITRE will never offer the unit to end customers and it is not known if an uncertified GPS will ever be legal to use as data source.

The frequency UAT runs on is used for other purposes / equipment depending on which country you are in...
