| ISP should evolve to ICP
Internet Service Providers need to evolve into something more along the lines of an Internet Connection Provider. By removing the service-aspects, the can greatly simplify their network.
This isn't to say that an ISP's (ahem, ICP's) parent company should offer 'services', but that a separation for the benefit of moving headaches to someone else might be better.
Newsgroups, email, personal web space, etc., etc., etc. need to evolve to a point that the intelligent on the Internet can run their own services, and the not-so-intelligent can run AOL.  |
