'''Healthy signal infrastructure''' is for all purposes not just [[healthy buying infrastructure|buying]]. The more we can do to promote [[hardware standard]]s that decrease the [[hardware requirements]] we must ourselves deploy to support [[Consumerium Services]], and [[modular hardware]] to cut [[e-waste]], the easier it will be to cooperate with other [[essential projects]]. | '''Healthy signal infrastructure''' is for all purposes not just [[healthy buying infrastructure|buying]].

Non-buying purposes the '''HSI''' can be used for: [[voting]], [[dating]], [[rendezvous]] like a [[flash mob]], [[orienteering game]]s, [[betting]] and [[investing]] (only healthy to a limited degree, and there is no way to tell betting from investing, period), and almost any kind of [[mobile work]] like [[sales]] or [[transport]] or [[sustainable forestry]]. Of course, any kind of forestry or fishing or investing or sales or transport that is not sustainable is not healthy, so, a truly healthy infrastructure just doesn't help anyone do these things, or, better yet, it charges more to use it if you are using more or damaging more [[styles of capital]] than sustainable | Non-buying purposes the '''HSI''' can be used for: [[voting]], [[dating]], [[rendezvous]] like a [[flash mob]], [[orienteering game]]s, [[betting]] and [[investing]] (only healthy to a limited degree, and there is no way to tell betting from investing, period), and almost any kind of [[mobile work]] like [[sales]] or [[transport]] or [[sustainable forestry]].

In the ideal case, the [[Consumerium Services]] and even the [[hardware requirements]] would be delivered for free to all users anywhere in the world, and this would be paid for by charging other users of the same infrastructure for their other uses - charging ''more'' for those doing more damage to Earth. | In the ideal case, the [[Consumerium Services]] and even the [[hardware requirements]] would be delivered for free to all users anywhere in the world, and this would be paid for by charging other users of the same infrastructure for their other uses - charging ''more'' for those doing more damage to Earth.

*[[ISO 14000]] compliant | *[[ISO 14000]] compliant | ||
*relies on existing [[pager]] and [[phone]] and [[radio]] wherever possible | *self-funding | ||
*[[modular hardware]] based on relevant [[hardware standard]] | **no relying on [[volunteer]] effort (big burnout risk, see [[worst cases]]) | ||
*low or no [[e-waste]], no [[toxic waste]] at all | **no relying on [[donation]]s (big corruption risk, see [[worst cases]]) | ||
*[[product take-back]] by manufacturers | *incremental | ||
*[[full cost accounting]] for whole [[product lifecycle]] using [[ISO 19011]] | **relies on existing [[pager]] and [[phone]] and [[radio]] wherever possible | ||
*upgraded fairly uniformly in "turns" on regular basis (like every four years) | **[[modular hardware]] based on relevant [[hardware standard]] | ||

**low or no [[e-waste]], no [[toxic waste]] at all | |||
**[[product take-back]] by manufacturers | |||
*accountable | |||
**[[full cost accounting]] for whole [[product lifecycle]] using [[ISO 19011]] | |||
**leads to [[Transparent Consumerium]] | |||
*maintainable | |||
**upgraded fairly uniformly in "turns" on regular basis (like every four years) etc. | |||
**leads to [[Distributed Consumerium]] that can be run by [[developing nation]]s | |||
