蔓城区管理几十年前，资金紧张的城市和政府就将大部分必要的蔓城区管理职能私有化了。无线矩阵也不例外。以新网为首的私有公司视无线矩阵为未来，通过承诺更易管理和降低成本，争夺利润丰厚的政府合同来建设和运营无线基础设施。现在，从废弃物管理到执法都使用无线技术来帮助管理蔓城区的日常生活。
大多数城市都拥有几个矩阵服务提供商(Matrix Service Providers)，或称MSP。当你在一个MSP注册时，你会得到一个通讯码，如果你更换供应商，这个号码是可以转移的。你可以购买一个通讯链，然后选择一个MSP来激活它，或者先与一个MSP签约，然后在合同中获得一个“免费”通讯链。大多数薪奴都使用免费的通讯链，尽管它经常是一个装有垃圾软件的低端型号。此外，许多MSP只与他们品牌(或附属品牌)的通讯链合作。对于我们这些狂奔者来说，也有一些黑市MSP来迎合那些重视隐私(并且在注册时不希望进行背景调查)的人。

SPRAWL MANAGEMENT
Cash strapped cities and governments privatized most essential sprawl management functions decades ago. The wireless Matrix is no different. Touting wireless Matrix as the future, promising easier administration and lower costs, private corporations led by NeoNET fought over lucrative government contracts to build and operate wireless infrastructures. Now, everything from waste management to law enforcement uses wireless technology to help manage daily life in the Sprawl.
Most cities also have several Matrix Service Providers, or MSPs. When you sign up with an MSP, you get a commlink number that’s transferable if you ever switch providers. You can purchase a commlink and then activate it by choosing a MSP, or sign on with an MSP first and receive a "free" commlink with your contract. Most wageslaves use the free commlink, although it’s frequently a lower-end model loaded with crapware. Also, many MSPs will only work with their brand (or affiliated brand) of commlink. For us runner types, there are also black MSPs, catering to those individuals who value privacy (and don’t really want a background check run when they sign up).

> 或者在一个黑市MSP上登记。在西雅图，无政府主义的“左岸"黑客组织经营着一个相当可靠的黑市MSP。如果你知道哪里可以找到他们的"办公室”，你就可以得到一个账户。你需要预先支付前三个月的服务费(是的，他们的价格很高，而且你不会得到一个免费的通讯链)，不问不答。当你的账目结清后，一个通讯码就会被放在收件箱里。他们提供匿名信息中继、临时收件箱，以及其他各种服务，比如盗版软件。给我留言，然后我可以把他们的联系方式发给你。

> 富积通信公司是另一个黑市MSP供应商。多年来，它的大部分已经被切分并破解，但仍有一部分被所有的主要参与者遗忘了(无疑是通过一些花哨的黑客工作)。它的代码已经深入到无线矩阵的基础设施中，其所销售的过时账户在任何新网系统上都能很好地使用，有点像是搭便车的感觉。

> To sign up with legal services or to buy a commlink, you need a valid SIN and ID, effectively shutting the SINless out of the wireless world.

> Or sign up with a Black MSP. In Seattle, the anarchist Left Bank hacker outfit runs one that’s pretty reliable. If you know where to find their "office" you can get an account. You pay for the first 3 months service up front (and yes, their prices are high, and no, you don’t get a free ‘link), no questions asked, no answers given. When your cred clears, a commlink number is placed in a drop box. They provide anonymous message relays, temporary drop boxes, and a variety of other services—like pirated warez. Drop me a line and I can send you their way.

> Fuchi Telecomm is another black MSP provider. Over the years, most of it has been divided up and hacked apart, but a section remains that was forgotten (no doubt through some fancy hacker-work) by all the major players. Its code was already deep inside the wireless Matrix infrastructure, and the antiquated accounts it sells work well on any NeoNET system, sort of piggybacking its way around.
