The services offered were for CREATING web pages, to correct your 
misinterpretation.  But, I'm sure some people are using web pages for 
business purposes.  

I've repeatedly informed persons at UCIS over the past year, but have 
seen no action.

People that I've informed UCIS about have been advertising in various 
newsgroups.  (I've always forwarded the advertisement on to UCIS)
