If private networks can decide what software they will support, and what sites you can see, without telling you, and still be called Internet services, the word loses its meaning, it becomes generic, it becomes internet, and we're back to where we were 20 years ago, when proprietary X.25 networks ruled and you only were able to use the services created and defined by CompuServe or GEnie.
