There's no reason not to distribute data on what's in the store in book form, even customized book form. You could for instance slide a card into a slot, and get a printed book with [[price premium]] information customized to you, or generic information like a score. It might even get printed at the [[retail shelf]] someday if some nation decides to require it - the first step to [[Consumerium Country]]. There's no bias as to how the signal is delivered. That's the main reason the language IS so abstract right now, actually. | There's no reason not to distribute data on what's in the store in book form, even customized book form.

:If you can get a [[list of things you bought]] in digital form as envisioned in [[Checkout Consumerium]] you can pick that book/leaflet/magazine up at home or even better download the [[GTIN]] codes to your home computer and start browsing away what you have. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 10:35, 12 Mar 2004 (EET) | |||
And it's a fantasy to believe that companies whose behaviour is exposed by the [[Consumerium Services]] as undesirable would not try to interfere legally. We would have to be damn sure of our data. This isn't a [[Wikipedia]] type wankfest of amateurs. This data is supposed to be reliable enough to bet on. The whole [[ConsuML]] proposal is about drawing on data from many sources to dump into [[Consumerium:intermediate page]]s, and hopefully not creating new data that would have to be verified by volunteers here. | And it's a fantasy to believe that companies whose behaviour is exposed by the [[Consumerium Services]] as undesirable would not try to interfere legally.
