"My Internet..."

"many ordinary internet users often confusing Facebook or Google with the internet itself" thanks to major content and application providers, (notably MS) seeming to do the same. But it is rather worrying that regulators apparently have to be reminded of the difference.

The infrastructure approach has caused problems in the past when self-appointed anti-spam agencies have blocked huge ranges of IP addresses because of a few miscreant IPs. For example, on several occasions and for quite some time in each case Tsohost has been entirely blacklisted by Plusnet because of this.
