OK, now I understand.
The problem I'd see is that there are 50 mil. to be spend per site/project/
location, and much of this will not be pay-once-don't-care-anymore-payments,
but monthly (maybe annual) costs, and that's a heap of money, even for a
Corp.
I do know many Corps will have ten or hundred times more, but most of
it will be bound (is this the right word?) in projects, real estate, goods,
as shares on the stock market, ... whatever. So you'll cut expenses where
possible, and that will be -among others- security. On pet projects
(Renrakus (?) AI project, such things) this is probably not true, but
even a large Corp will not be able to spend millions of nuyen to protect
each petty site with AAA and higher security ratings...
Well, at least that's how I play it, from what I know of economics. Both
German and American (we learned the difference between the German and
American economic system at school, although with the main aspect of the
'social' side...)

Thanx, I think it did help (If just I hadn't lost my German-English Dictionary,
the ALD is really no help on some subjects :-( )
