I think they are setting up a spamming company. At the moment, they are exploring the whole internet, and locating the geographic position of every computer linked up to the net. They could easily use some other technique to match these names with email addresses. (Using data from a sister company) Then they could target specific communites with specific advertising for their area. If they combined even more data to get a highly detailed database they could really specificaly target spam. Meaning that you could start receiving adds about the local shops in your area. It would produce a whole new market for spammers, and quoka would own the database. They'll make a fortune.

In the future, they will be able to scan the worlds computer systems every few months, or even weeks, updating their databases.
