I can think of one reason why MCC is doing this -- MCC is a consortium
so they might think having their own internet with no usage
restrictions might better facilitate technology transfer between them
and their shareholder companies.
Disclaimer: It's been years since I worked for MCC so consider
everything in this message uninformed speculation.
