Scenarios.
- Power to the corporations: corporate brands help you through life from cradle to grave
- Power to the people: I choose my path through life, taking what I need along the way
- One Land, One Languague: both people and companies want transparency and openness. Websites are part of one big 'Global Village' where poeple and companies interact on a basis of trust.
- Ivory Towers in the Bazaar: although people want transparency, companies have put their shields down. Merchants arise as intermediaries between both.
- 1000 Islands:both people and companies want control. It is each for one own.
- Desperate Salesmen in the Desert: People want control, but companies want transparency.
