You are absolutely, positively 100% correct.

It is also inaccurate to say the judge shutdown the Department
of Interior Internet.  The Department of Interior (contractors)
did it themselves just like @Home's executives and @Home
engineers terminated access to its network.


A judge *ordered* the DOI offline. A different judge *allowed* Excite@home
to terminate service against the wishes of the cable companies that
Excite had contracts with. They are indeed two different things.
