World Wide Web (Beta 1)

Become a pioneer of the World Wide Web. This mod allows you to develop a multitude of software and technologies. There are currently 46 software types, I plan to add more in the future.

How The Play The Mod:
Most software types have their price set to $10, this prevents the AI companies from going bankrupt since they can’t develop level 3 technology. You can make money on these software types by adding level 3 tech. You can earn money through subscriptions, selling userdata, displaying ads, and various other methods. All level 3 tech uses different amounts of bandwidth, but they also provide a fixed monthly income. This income could range from $0.25 to $30 per user a month. But be careful, selling userdata or participating in unethical business practices could land you in a lawsuit and mark the downfall of your company.
