• Hostile markets: - There are some markets that have been very difficult for some western companies to penetrate, some governments will not allow certain companies into their markets, but the network was seen as being able to reach into these markets. This was just one of the networks potential attributes, it could have opened up the gateway to some markets, because in some ways, it would have been a semi passive system. Governments not wanting their markets to be flooded by western goods could still have used a customised VR database, as a backdrop to help sell their own goods.

These countries could have purchased an off the shelf customised database, from the developing company and then use it to set-up their own online virtual tourist destinations or VR market places etc. These countries may also have needed the developing companies technical staff, so as to to help operate these systems. A great way for the powers that be to use such a system, to spy upon another countries population, just a thought.

• Internet Service Providers: -ISP’s like Freeserve, AOL and the rest will have to deliver good content through their networks, the databases were seen as being exactly that, i.e. good content. These ISP’s will have to deliver something better than just web pages when the net becomes a VR environment, because otherwise their user base could drop dramatically.

The franchise option, was to have allowed the software hosting market to buy an off the shelf ready-made database tailored towards their needs, this of course being the point. All the databases sold where then to be linked together to form the envisioned global network, allowing the developing company to become the biggest ringmaster, in the largest online revolution, since the invention of the Internet (HYPE).

• The 3D Online Virtual Market, allowing the networked databases to be used as a trading system was seen as way of capturing the global online shopping market, because the user interfaces could have been made extremely easy for the public to use. Web pages will obviously not disappear but most end users would rather interact within VR than spend time trawling web pages. The developing company should have had minimum risks, because the franchise option should have protected them from all of the costs that would normally be associated, with setting up the hardware involved. Just like installing a new game or APP on your PC, you brought the hardware, someone else supplied the software.

• As mini projectors become common place and get built into next gen PDA's and phones etc, then the real world could be transformed into one big TV or VR simulation. As walls, public spaces and ourselves all become display mediums, then billions of connected users could start sharing virtual space on a grand scale, this is the new world and who owns these virtual spaces, could become the largest capitalizes of these new markets. It's not just about selling goods anymore, this is about virtual money, being generated within a virtual economy and maybe one day we could all become mobile advertisers, profiting like famous people from wearing name brands?

I don't have the time to individually respond to every email, so I thank you in advance, for your help.
