'''Internet Service''' and the [[Internet Service Provider]] who vends it or contributes it to [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] is a key concern, as one or more [[high bandwidth box]]es will probably be required initally to get the first [[Consumerium Services]] running. Although traffic will be low, the problems may become visible. When real production [[server box]]es are in use, there may be more than a few [[worst cases]] that cause problems for the ISP, and make it hard to retain our IS. This might include [[spam]] falsely identifying itself as being from "us", or other discrediting measures trying to shut us down and bring the [[USENET Death Penalty]] down on us. Certain [[threats]] will move from the realm of fantasy to being real credible [[worst cases]] during our initial deployments. A good relationship with our IS, preferably strong [[common values]] too, would be of some use in minimizing this as a [[Consumerium maintenance]] concern. As we evolve to [[Transparent Consumerium]] it will become harder and harder to make credible claims that [[Consumerium:Itself]] is the origin of any problems caused by our rivals, opponents, and [[paid troll]]s. In the longer run, the [[switch]]es themselves might run very low overhead [[Consumerium protocol]] to deliver our [[Consumerium buying signal]] with very few vulnerabilities, and a few [[reflector box]]es might simply accelerate this by cacheing [[user data]] and [[label data]] and [[barcode]] information (this is initially centralized in the [[Consumerium Data Whorehouse]] which, as the name implies, is a very bad idea and vulnerable to every kind of nasty disease and [[privacy]] problem and should be eliminated as soon as humanly possible). [[Distributed Consumerium]] will not rely on any such privacy-risking central data, and will minimize the [[centrally controlled information economy]] also. In the long run, the ISP will do [[Consumerium maintenance]] and if there's any need for special skills, the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] will hire a [[guild]] or [[consultant]] to do it, that it trusts to steer this properly.
