No, I mean the internet. (Hence, ISPs). Your product, in the context of
this discussion anyways, is access to the internet. When the actions of a
downstream damage that product(IE more and more networks nullroute UUNet
traffic), I would assume that you have appropriate privilege to toss them
overboard in the contracts.
