The reality is whatever the IETF thinks of the principles of Internet

An operator is whoever operates the Internet, including IETFers and
programmers, besides telecoms. Money is an inheritance from pre-existing
establishments, and one that doesn't work very well. IMHO, the Internet can
be considered part of the world's effort to limit its exceeding power.
