The Internet is always the Internet. What others do with it for it to
add value to lives is a different thing.

Almost everyone can offer something as simple as a web-based e-mail
service. There aren't many companies that can offer a decent cloud
backup solution, for the price. Much in the same way we discuss the
limited number of VoD service providers on this list, for one reason or
another. Or equipment vendors. Or CDN providers. Or...

The Internet is pointless if we don't derive some utility from it. That
that utility is given a product name should not be seen as evil, until
that company comes on here to market it themselves, of course.

Mark.
