I thought the word was "private" rather than "privacy". "Private" has two 
different meanings, one for shutting out others from seeing, but the other 
referring to restricted management, as in being under private control.

Over the public Internet, clearly privacy is an important for some 
applications.

However the earlier uses of the term VPN simply referred to a network that 
was under private administration, but is operated over a public one.
