See the other articles in this thread. Just as obviously I could spend
the rest of the day typing in similar examples (I just picked half a
dozen random from our routing tables), but that would be a waste
of everybodies time. 

I couldn't care less if your service provider has access to world.std.com
or not. Somebody obviously had trouble making the distinction between 
marketing arguments and an example illustrating the fact that the 
"Internet" is not a homogenous entity were everybody has the same 
connectivity, but far more a loose cooperation of various service providers.
