If you count equipment and helper bonuses as summed up, a personal skill of 17 would require an equivalent Contact of 27 by TL8 making the formula to calculate max effective skill for a contact (maximum skill ALLOWED +6 + TL/2).
I'm still at a loss of what kind of effect you're trying to achieve. Is it possible to have this more concrete?

Jane, a PC, has megacorp as her contact. In a certain situation she wants to do ..... Because of her contact and the fix for some broken rule, she can now.......

or is it:

Megacorp Inc, has .... has a contact group. Therefore, in a certain situation, they can now ........

Then, we can discuss whether this should be possible in RAW. If you are in disagreement, you propose your houserule, and ask whether there might be consequences.
