Actually, I would say that any situation in which the *employer* is paying
for net access, whether it be for a node or a couple of accounts or
whatever, then that would indicate an organizational commitment. Of
course there will be differences in the way that an organization's 
commitment to networking will be manifested according to the size and
resources of the organization.  However, I wanted to distinguish between
those situations and the ones in which access to the net is purely an
individual affair.
