Re: Vox Telecom, I actually assumed that Vox was a riff on Fox News, known in the U.S. for its conservative slant. Mailstrom wreckage "widow" mentions "Vox News Atlanta," which sounds a little close to the "Fox News Atlanta" and "Fox Five Atlanta" I hear every day for me to call coincidence. I'd assumed Vox was the YZ story's way of tying the media to the government: shifting conservative news outlet Fox to Vox to become the voice of the conservative government.

- I had the same thought the first time Vox News Atlanta popped up, but was digging around the web trying to locate a Vox site for YZ Timeline and ended up finding a real American Vox News (though, the site still strikes me suspicious except for its domain registration date is waaaay too early) When it came up again here, I went digging and found Vox Telecom was a legit Corp.
- Still, i think the odds are they used it for the realism, same as using Trinity Episcopal (real churches!) and other similarly real names (aside the obviously made for the fiction us wiretap, cedocore, anglo-johnson, etc.) are getting carefully built to starkly realistic levels (although, some of these slogans are hilariously over the top!) --killjoy 14:01, 16 April 2007 (PDT)
