This way they can put their money where their mouth is, rather than have a ISP like IGS go broke as a test case. It seems that there are organizations that are happy to take on a case on principle, but have little regards to the outcome with the people involved. This is like a union forcing an employer out of business costing it's member's jobs, who wins in that one???
