I'm missing something here... how could Globetel lose NMC to Gallindo?
It was my understanding the Peralta's terminated Mr. Galindo once they realized his involvement with Monterosso and saw he wasn't working in their best interest. That news came directly from Khoury before he left, though a friend who talked to him several times.
...and on the 7th day, God turned off his Macintosh.
Nerd I don't Know. But as far as I can tell these HZ boxes have not taken off very well, inc boxes installed by others. I have never understood having boxes and a airship anyway. My guess it was a stop gap measure until strat could be developed.
