"The Web has not only been a venue for the free exchange of ideas,
but also it has been a platform for the creation of a wide and
unanticipated variety of new services. Commercial applications
including eBay, Google, Yahoo, and Amazon.com are but a few
examples of the extraordinary innovation that is possible because
of the open, standards-based, royalty-free technology that makes
up the Web. Whether developing an auction site, a search engine,
or a new way of selling consumer goods, e-commerce entrepreneurs
have been able develop new services with confidence that they will
be available for use by anyone with an Internet connection and a
Web browser, regardless of operating system, computer hardware, or
the ISP chosen by that user."

"And it's their right to not let you view their pages, if you won't
view them they way they want them viewed."
