No. In the UK there are loads of ISP's, lots of small ones as you can imagine don't have the money to purchase a telco switch. They usually purchase telco services from providers such as BT, Energis etc. Some of the larger providers, i.e. Freeserve work in partnership with a Telco and are thus able to provide Free Accounts (as they get their money from time spent online, and advertising). Boothy.
