Underlying Service
The underlying service that GTIP is built on is predicated on the answering of questions sent in from customers via SMS, with the questions being queued and presented to multiple independent researchers through a web interface. Each independent researcher then selects and answers questions when they are available. Answers are then sent back to the customer via a premium-rate SMS.
Typically an implementation is built upon a unique keyword, used for branding when supplied to a customer, and whilst the GTIP implementation is deliberately limited to answering computer-game related questions (a business decision around this particular brand), the service itself can be used to provide generalist question answering services (such as Any Question Answered, or closely controlled question answering services (such as a customer support service for a single business.)

Famous quotes containing the words underlying and/or service:
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
