So Paolonerd [1] comes in last October and adds his observation to this relatively flimsy wikipedia entry and we're supposed to all just accept that definition. I see.

> A public utility (usually just utility) is an organization that maintains the infrastructure for a public service.

Who is the organization that maintains the infrastructure of the Internet? Does it include my cable modem? My router? Why or why not?

"Does the public water infrastructure include the pipes and sinks inside my house?"
