Cybus Industries

Cybus Industries was a company that existed on an alternate Earth. As well as being an industrial corporation, they covered media, housing, technology, construction, finance, airships, and the health drink Vitex. It was used to create the Cybermen.

It was created and run by John Lumic. Pete Tyler worked for Cybus Industries as a right-hand man for Lumic, after his Vitex company was bought out by Cybus.

Cybus Industries provided the main communications network, CybusNet. Features of their service included the 'daily download' which downloaded news, sport, jokes and other into the customers' brains via EarPods. Another feature included internet access, although as this was only seen on Rose Tyler's mobile phone, it was uncertain how it works on the earpods. Cybus Industries also purchased other companies and helped their owners develop their businesses. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel)

Cybus Industries is a horrifically powerful company, to the extent that CybusNet is said to be the sole global information provider and caused the BBC to be shut down. It's also been involved in political assassinations. (WEB: Cybus Industries)
