Hi,


I think the idea is, across countless (at least 15+), "same company" brands,
to have multiple combinations of free and paid for destinations and
services, to best cover all angles and make most revenue from a given
customer base (as well as offering some other ancillary benefits - marketing
performance evaluation, r&d, testing and rolling out of new and different
services, etc.).


Best wishes,
