Actually, someone could make quite a nifty business out of providing
access to MW members.
Anyone want to make some money? Hire Kevin and provide a for-profit feed
to the MW non-profit network. That was MW is still non-profit, Ryan et
al stop ranting, you make some cash, everyone is happy, and we don't
have to stuff about with a carrier license.

Actually, it is incredibly obvious that it is the obvious conclusion. 
Just because you are cool and can think of funkah uses for it, doesn't
mean everyone else is.
I'll bet 95% of everyone who ever joins joins because they are after net
access.

I'm into collaborative stuff. But I'm also aware that I'm not exactly Mr
Standard Demographic.
Most people will be after net access, I predict.
