Telecommunications in Newfoundland and Labrador have been important due to the province's rural and remote geography. [1] They are also well-situated to be the terminus of transatlantic undersea communication cables since it was found by Lieutenant O.H. Berryman in 1853 that they are connected to Ireland by a plateau at a depth of 1500 to 2000 fathoms which is highly suitable for this purpose. [2]

Game-theoretic rough sets are the use of rough sets to induce three-way classification decisions. The positive negative and boundary regions can be interpreted as regions of acceptance, rejection and deferment decisions, respectively. The probabilistic rough set model extends the conventional rough sets by providing more effective way for classifying objects. A main result of probabilistic rough sets is the interpretation of three-way decisions using a pair of probabilistic thresholds. The game-theoretic rough set model determine and interprets the required thresholds by utilizing a game-theoretic environment for analyzing strategic situations between cooperative or conflicting decision making criteria. The essential idea is to implement a game for investigating how the probabilistic thresholds may change in order to improve the rough set based decision making.
