websites design and hosting services. Turning to ISPs
they are told hosting are "valueadd services" only
offer "bundled" with other products. Many thus never

servers"? If we get a sufficient number we could
approach e.g. WB TCIP/RCIP, etc. give business case
maybe get a share of those ears-boggling billions
flying about in the media to setup server warehouse.

hosting business online...). Unless we sort this out,
looks like they may never.
