Internet users, or people who make decisions for those
internet users? I think the "possessiveness" is directly
related to the desire for stability, so Joe Webpack
probably doesn't care too much about this, but his
employer's IT department cares a whole lot. Also: we
haven't seen the fully impact of Joe Peerpack
(esp VoIP), so it's a bit premature to guess,
I'd think.
