Consumer's terminal is usually a mobile telephone because that apparatus can often be found in the consumers pocket or hand bag.

At this early stage it is unclear how we will arrange the needed servers. Network connections and servers cost money, so sources of financing are needed, but describing this is not the goal of this document. If these are [http://www.opennic.unrated.net/personal.html personal computers running OpenNIC] then they will be cheap, interchangeable, and be able to read data sources banned by [[The Empire]].
