Okay, I know someone else is going to do it, so I might as well:

How does your above equation make your point (assuming for a fact its 
even accurate)

        INTERNET = TRANSPORT + CONTENT

        INTERNET - TRANSPORT = CONTENT

I guess it can equally prove that UUNet should pay for web farms. (this 
is not an opinion statement, just algebra). If we wanted to get really 
specific, there is another equation

                - INTERNET = TRANSPORT + CONSUMERS

therefore:      TRANSPORT + CONTENT = -(TRANSPORT + CONSUMERS)

                        CONTENT = -CONSUMERS

What does that prove? Content has to go somewhere that is, the consumers.
