What is it?
Why have I not heard of it before?
How can you possibly provide what you claim to - at that price?
This is a ‘by-product’ of our historic mainstream commercial work
It holds an unique place in the field of available / accessible data
The potential uses are so wide and varied it deserved to be a ‘mass- market’ product, so there was no point in creating economic ‘blocks’ to access
So the initial data and software is Free (a VERY reasonable price)

OUR OBJECTIVES
