The lower rating parts of the city as well as feral cities where no law exists at all (Bogotá before Aztlan, GeMiTo, Chigaco) serve as breeding grounds for criminals. THose who survive and get good enough move out into the more profitable higher rating zones. Also there are several organizations which train criminals, including deckers. Organized crime like the Yakuza of course, but also the military (combat hackers), terrorists and the corps itself (counter decking and covert operations). In addition there are anarchists communities who train such people (see Slamm-0! background) and teacher-pupils relationships (like how FastJack and Kane train /dev/grrl)By the way, this two commlink strategy you propose is also suggested in the books (4E). One broadcasting for the public, the other secured for your PAN.Note:Slamm-0!One of the best hackers around. Raised in an anarchist community and taking that philosophy rather seriously, so does some pro bono jobs to help the oppressed masses and also believes in "the truth must come out, no matter the cost".FastJackArguably the best Decker alive, recently retiredKaneNotorious Pirate, known for violence. One of the most sought man in the world./dev/grrl15(?) year old girl from a corporate family already doing SHadowruns and being quite good at it (decking).</blockquote>
