TIO is a dominant player in the area of mid volume consumer products, that is to say the electronic devices that are issued to security forces, the control panels installed by automotive manufacturers and the like. Their activities are not restricted to just this area however. Since Stiener Aquisitions lost its ICC* membership and was taken over by TIO they diversified into "vertically integrated regional services" where they buy up and get contracts for public and commercial services in a single area and source as many resources as possible in house. For example a single city might have TIO owning the water supply, the power company and contracting some of the postal, telecommunication and security services. Aside from these two areas of focus the corporation is a small player in most fields of consumer products, TIO's ownership of several critical and lucrative pieces of intellectual property ensures their wealth and position. They have a firm hold in South America and are expanding north.

Is TIO one of the big three corporations or is it one of the more numerous merely vast corporations?
