MNN

MNN (formerly Mangalan News Network, then Martian News Network, now simply MNN)is Mars' single largest datafeed and information services provider. With offices across the red planet, as well as across known space, MNN brings a galactic perspective to the Martian media, combined with a reputation for fair and accurate information. MNN offers two primary services: its vast datafeed network [i.e. TV with a million channels] and access to the planetary datalinks [i.e. being an ISP]. MNN also offers access to the Nu-Space network across Sol. Although Nu-space was invented by corporations within the United Star Empire of Valinon MNN partnered with MangalaCorp to take control of the service in the Sol system and now provides access to the virtual world as a standard option along with its datafeed package.
