Maybe there aren't any service providers... The Matrix just
integrates everything that used to be
a bunch of separate nets. You acess it from a legal jackpoint, you pay
to the corp who owns the
jackpoint, and, it you're a legitimate user, you might pay to the guys
whose servers you're acessing
also. No "monthly Matriz bill", Matrix use would be just like any phone
call (wich also would use the
Matrix), and charged as such. You could even acess the 'trix from a soda
machine, of all things... :)
