I think the results of the votes will end up being guidelines. So if we have D, then the setting will basically have one consortium, but when we get to fleshing out the setting, I can't see anyone objecting if you put forward a startup company that wants to make their own wormholes. The difference would be whether those startups were in the history of the setting, and had become successful, or in the present, and are fighting off pressure from the big boys.
