Status Quo

  • What is considered the currency of the 21st century? Data!
  • Why is there no equal competition with data? Monopolies!
  • What is the core requirement for the use of data? Security!

Based on these theses, the vision of an 'Internet' arises in which data producers/owners can remain the sole and permanent owners of their data. A producer should be able to expect transparency as to where and how his own data is stored and must be given exclusive and manageable configuration options as to who is allowed to access/consume his non-public data. This alone would be of great benefit to data producers if the same data required for different applications were to be maintained only once, i. e. if, for example, address data would no longer have to be repeatedly entered and kept up-to-date for every portal, online shop, etc. While the separation of data and applications in software packages is common, this concept fails from the global perspective of the 'Internet' because of the protectionism of a few Internet giants. Anyone who wants his data to be published on e.g. Facebook, usually considers it 'status quo' to post his data on Facebook as well. From the point of view of the Internet giants, this results in lucrative business models and attempts to deprive these companies of the sovereignty over data stored in their proprietary databases are not very successful. Distribution is one of the very own ideas of the Internet. The fact that the interests of the users are not always in the foreground is also shown elsewhere by the large number of deliberately incompatible messengers (e. g. WhatsApp, WeChat), whose value is measured less by functionality than by the number of users. Instead of leading an unequal fight against giants as a start-up, a solution strategy is needed to get them 'on board' in the medium term. In order to achieve broad acceptance worldwide, it is also essential to set an extremely low entry threshold for all participants and still place the highest value on data protection.

UNITED-PAGES

The target group for UNITED-PAGES is not defined in terms of nationality, age or educational level of the participants, nor restricted in terms of private or business use. The addressing format for UNITED PAGES data is not 'randomly' a combination of email addresses and web formats. Email is considered the most used service on the Internet (e. g. 84% of the population in Germany use email) and email addresses are in many cases more 'long-lived' than e. g. telephone numbers. If you consider UNITED-PAGES as an add-on for email, the chances of reaching the target groups are not only theoretical.

A market analysis to estimate the enormous market volume (in terms of potential participants) is not necessary for most of the market segments targeted by UNITED-PAGES. Even individual functionalities can be of paramount importance. Be it, among other things. the prospect of a globally accepted address book, a uniform authorization procedure for access to all types of Internet services, a useful extension for all web browsers and a lowest common denominator for IoT(Internet of Things).

UNITED-PAGES specifies a highly scalable platform and is therefore geared towards growth. There are a number of unique selling points and UNITED-PAGES has potential for “The Next Big Thing” on the Internet – exceptionally not “Made in USA”!
