On Pete's World, Cybus Industries was a global mega-corporation which by 1996 had swallowed all competition. (WC: Tardisode 5, PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac) By 2007, the corporation had a complete monopoly on technology on the parallel world, and influence that was judged to be more powerful than governments.
