==[[Friendly retail]] store's infrastructure's requirements== A store that wishes to support [[Consumerium Services]] directly, e.g. seeking a strategic advantage like the [[Big Carrot]] or equivalents in other cities, must provide some hardware in order to start providing the Consumerium-service to their clients. This might include a very low overhead [[in-store radio]] system to carry what amount to positive [[advertising]] for desirable [[green light]] products. Or, it might be a higher tech solution: *Wireless network (Bluetooth), so that consumers can connect to the system with their terminals. *Internet access, so that information can be fetched from outside of the store's own datasystem and to deliever the consumer's feedback to the producers. *[[Consumerium server]] software that contain the data about products sold in the store. To save costs it makes sense that retail chains place the data about products that are sold in all stores on it's central servers and then cache the data onto the store servers whenever it's requested. *One possibility for providing the needed core-servers for the system, is to require in the software-license that the retail chains that wish to provide Consumerium-service to their clients must provide a certain amount of host and network capacity (to store, process and transfer information that is not in the store's servers) This capacity could be bound to eg. the amount of floor space, parking lots or customers in the store, or some other scheme specified in the [[Consumerium License]]. Optional hardware for the stores might include: *Mounted [[Bluetooth|Bluetooth keyboards]] so that consumers can better send [[feedback]] and otherwise interact with the system. ----
