Emphasis on "appear". The non-ISPs provide services that appear to be
Internet access, but aren't. The big problem is when new protocols come
along that permit new functionality, but can't reach the non-ISPs'
users. This hurts developers, of course, because it limits our user
base; but it also hurts the non-ISPs' users (obviously) *and* all other
users (by Metcalfe's Law).
