ISTR reading on trekmovie.com or elsewhere that Nokia were consulted on the communicator prop for Star Trek. knoodelhed 22:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Another product placement instance Edit

Levi's jeans appeared in Star Trek: The Final Frontier.--72.155.117.128 00:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Product placement implies payment for placement...Did Levi pay for the placement or was it just the brand of jeans the costumers happen to pick? :) — Morder 00:30, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

To continue this..."This is the third instance of product placement being used in a Star Trek production..." What about the pac bell yellow pages in star trek iv? — Morder (talk) 07:27, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Removed Edit

As with the money article, the following was removed, as the existence of Nokia suggests nothing about the nature of the economy of the Federation.

It is not clear whether or not this indicates the existence of a profit driven corporate economy. It may be that familiar brand names are still used in the 23rd century, however product distribution may no longer depend on the accumulation of profit.--31dot 02:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
