The rest of Joes post is a bit of humor aimed at ANS and the Usual
Suspects, but the piece above points up a VERY important point...
As the "users community" of the Internet evolves from we who have
been around a while and understand it, to those who just want to
use it like a public utility (hmm.... bad words there, public utility)
Joe hits the nail on the head!
...people want their Internet and really do not care who provides it.
