Kent makes a good point in that 'the majority of individuals access
the Internet via institutional networks.' Sure. So long as the
links *between* these networks are open, any institution can make
any rules it wants/needs for access and use of its own network.
Nothing wrong with that. Whether one can use my driveway on
private property for delivering pizza should be my decision. But
not government's decision in the public street before my house.
