Republica Communications Inc
Republica Comminications Inc, or Republica Comms, was the second largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the New Earth Republic, after Bruderbakker Industries. It was founded by August DeValle, who served as chairman and majority shareholder, and who was one of the nine most influential businessmen in the Republic. Republica Comms was also one of the Republic's nine largest corporations.
Sometime in the 101st century, Walter J. Matheson wanted the company for his own corporation, WJM Inc, and when DeValle refused, he had the Nestene Consciousness mentally force him to complete the transfer with his signature and retinal print. Following DeValle's death, there was no Republica Comms, and it had simply folded into the "WJM empire", which now controlled the entire mobile phone industry. (PROSE: Synthespians™)
