Am I the only one who thought this article was going to be about an ISP startup because of the title, and was disappointed when it wasn't?

My thought process:

    Internet company?
    What is this? 1998?
    OH it must be an ISP!
    Nope. It's a chat for your website...
    Wait, isn't there a million of these already?
    * sigh *
> Wait, isn't there a million of these already?

If there is a million of them, there must be business here, and if an entrepreneur thinks he can do it better than his average competitor, he should definetly go ahead.

A company doesn't need to be revolutionary to be a success-story. Distruptive ideas are exceptionally scarce and they represent a microscopic share of the economy as a whole.

Of course this is totally fine. I'm responding to the comment that it is disappointing that this wasn't an ISP.

I thought: here's a guy who sees that there is an opportunity to create an ISP that will be privacy focused, and he's going to details all the steps along the way. That'd be quite exciting.
