masataka was saying that he could classify providers given a rather fixed
model. i was saying that the world changes and that providers will find
new business models and bend masataka's rigid classification.
yes, but the desire to have classification of providers is significantly
motiviated by providers that keep coming up with "business models" that
involve deliberately corrupting the data that they carry.
of course such providers would rather act as if they weren't doing anything
harmful... which only further illustrates the need to have such
classifications.
