As this is merely an evolving of the Metaverse, imo, it will behoove those closed commercial grids to either get with the innovations with the Kitely MP, and other facets of current opensim development, or find themselves continuing to be more and more marginalized, and, as with all software that does not work, either due to factors of obsolescence or in not keeping up with innovations, they go away. It happens all the time with software.
What Kitely is doing is pushing innovation. Some folx will not care for this...this is an expected thing, imho.
As Maria points out, she can buy items in the Kitely MP and if the content creator checked the opt-in to export, she can wear it to any grid she can hypergate to...once Kitely continues to reach their promised goals and business plan of opening HG.
As someone who has watched this closely and as someone who was fairly involved with the inwz MP Inbiz at one time [hugss Anna!!! I love you and miss you!!], I expect that once Anna and more content creators see the possibilities, there will be a ton of new activities related to this.
I can see Anna even seeing some possible way to integrate the potential in some way, maybe even merging in some regards. In fact, I think I will email her now and send her this article link.
I do think that now this has finally opened, and the attenuating publicity of it all, that it is going to generate a lot of backroom discussions, people trying to maintain their own concept of the status-quo. However, the gate is now open, the path is set, and nothing will change it.
I am personally looking forward to buying even more items, especially when the hypergates are open, so my Kitely avatar can meet my other HG avatars, and we will throw a party-)))

fyi http://www.w3schools.com/brows... shows that IE is becoming such an obsolete browser there is no need to code to it specifically anymore....kinda like some things related to some opensim grids.
