I thought that just any organization could not join the Internet regardless
of monetary resources.  That is to say, they must be a government contractor
or educational institution (or possibly a non-profit organization with an
approved activity such as UUNET).  I didn't think you could "just decide" to
be on the Internet if you weren't in one of those categories...  (Maybe the
original poster is for all I know...)
