Business Profile :
The MacNamaras and their ETP empire balance the interests
of two Danaan-mor FamiIies, the 0'Briens and the McCarthys . The
O'Briens dominate scholastic software design, while the McCarthys
control the poetic/literary/historical areas of Tir culture . ETP handles
all the business aspects of education and culture, including the
licensing and marketing of summer schools and cultural festivals ;
licensing and manufacture of books, VR-CDs, chips, and skillsofts ;
and sales of cultural items such as sculpture, music, works of
literature, and so on . The company's wide-ranging empire gives
it a broad influence on Tir business and cultural life .
Instead of formal subdivisions specializing in different areas,
ETP uses expert teams to oversee individual products and services
. Staffers may specialize in certain areas, but must also have
a general knowledge of Tir culture . Most ETP staff regard their work
as a vocation, and feel intense loyalty to the company .
>>>>>[This place is so bizarre, I hardly know where to begin .
Consider the products of the McCarthy Group in their Killarney
forest hideout. 1 know for a fact that human hands-sorry, elven
hands-didn't produce those fabulous paintings . Wild rumours
hint at the mental fusion between the elven artists and the ally
spirits who really execute the artwork . They say magic almost
crackles off the canvases . Exhibiting unusual good taste, most
international art dealers pay big money for an MG artwork .
Or take the Limerick ivory towers and garrets, where they've
tucked away some real schizos . Mad Flaithri O'Connor spent his
last few years at the Limerick facility before his "cerebral accident"
in 2051 . Get your hands on the skillwires he dreamed up, and you
might go crazy . Or you might become the next Baudelaire . Sure
as hell they'll turn your head inside out realtime.]««<

»»>[ETP gets into some weird marketing and development
spins . For example, they pushed a big new line in 2050 of
ergonomically designed, learning-Favourable environments . If
you want to speed-read, scan images and extract information
super-fast, or learn how to access a database in your head through
intuitive data sorting, ETP can give you the software . Right along
with it, they can also modulate your internal biorhythms, pump
essential oils into the atmosphere, and slop the right colour paint
on your walls . Plenty of people out there pay real nuyen for the full
treatment . They tell me it works .]<<<<<

»»>[Indeed . ETP plays a vital role in suppressing free speech ;
it advises the Ministry of the Interior on the "cultural suitability" of
all media forms, as well as having its own absolute monopoly in
music publishing and licensing. They keep foreign stuff out, too,
if they don't like it ; foreign media companies may only publish and
produce their works by licensing arrangements through ETP .] <<< <<
