normalizing the first set of CDCM data usage records for the first time period by scaling the CDCM data usage records on an individual device basis on per device usage information for the first time period indicated in a first set of second service provider data usage records provided by a second network used by the first plurality of devices;
assigning data usage indicated by the normalized first set of CDCM data usage records to locations;
determining one or more wireless network device placement locations based on the assigned data usage to location information; and
deploying a wireless network device at one of the determined wireless network device placement locations.
