Its scary how many products and people are connected to megacorps that don't seem related at first glance. This reminds me of that conversation at the beginning of Deus Ex:

“Corporations are so big, you don’t even know who you’re working for. That’s terror, terror built into the system”- Deus Ex, NSF.



Yeah, and sometimes it leads beyond megacorps to governments, too.

Optus (telco in Australia), owned by Singtel, which is majority owned by Temasek, which is owned by the Government of Singapore. You can also substitute in India's 2nd largest telco (Bharti Airtel) for Optus in that example, by the way.
