I must echo Jason's concerns. There are very very very few
megacorporations like Aztech, renraku, and the like. Yoshida Tech, one of
the big-name corps in the TK storyline, is _barely_ AA, and that was only
after absorbing MagnaTech and the good PR that resulted from preventing a
corp war. Tirandor's DDI is hovering somewhere aroung single A and will
probably not be changing. Automated Infoworks isn't even rated.
