Basically they have used what they learned in the first National Genographic as well as in the last 7 years of genetic genealogy to create something that sounds pretty amazing actually.

What really amazes me is you pay for a test and they keep all the result and never share the data and use it to do their own research, shouldn't they publish what people have paid for and let it be accesable to all??

What i mean they should publish the results if people choose to share them, for example you pay the charges , they send you a coopy of the results and a link to their web sites to view it on line. Why not release these result and make them avilable to others and sort them by nation, for example Oman results or Somalia results.

But what they do they charge you and then they use your result for their research and they never share the results with any other institution. Now after some 8 years they released ehir study and its more of a money grab and adivertisement then a study really. They still want you to pay and make them money and give them a free sample that you paid for not them. Its all business.

You can transfer your results to FamilyTreeDNA for free and join one of the projects, which have public data and projects for people to compare results.
They already do what you are asking.
