Presumably the intended users of this service are on some (quasi-) 
proprietary network that does not support (via gatewaying?) the full

the service's users to the Internet -- perhaps just from the server 
side of selected proprietary service offerrings on that network, 
including this new service?).

Think "the old Compu$erve" or "the original AOL" or even "Billy's 
original vision of MSN", I guess.
