Actually, they have no reason or obligation to do this until the service
actually becomes available (if indeed it ever does).

It's not as if they're doing anything which will affect the net.  All the
IM folks are proposing is sending a subset of messages from the net to other
sites.  The fact that they recieve some compensation for the time spent doesn't
bother me at all.

I just don't understand what all the fuss is about.  Or are ALL of you people
against the IM network members of the Free Software Foundation (who's viewpoint
I understand).
