Personal Data Access Point (P-DAP)

Most people have a P-DAP, which can be thought of as a very advanced smart-phone/tablet. They generally allow unrestricted access to public networks managed (and probably monitored) by Hephæstus, but can technically access any network that uses the same protocols and transmission mechanism. P-DAPs are commodity items, and though they can be relatively cheap, there is a wide range of capabilities and feature-sets available for them.

Aspect: Common public communication

Trouble: May be monitored by Hephæstus
