I think the report mostly agrees with the grandparent; it's just that the meaning of "ISP" has drifted over the past 20 years. Paragraph 63 lists "America Online, AT&T WorldNet, Netcom, Earthlink, and the Microsoft Network" as examples of ISPs. Paragraphs 66-68 assume that an ISP pays for service from a telecommunications carrier. Paragraphs 75-76 use email and web hosting as examples of the services discussed in paragraphs 80-81, things the grandparent points out he doesn't use. They may be intertwined with data transport, but data transport isn't intertwined with them. Paragraph 75 does identify web access as an information service, but the same logic could be used to classify telephone service as an information service because you can use it to retrieve information from a PBX. Paragraph 81 repeats the assumption that ISPs consume telecommunications services. In general, the report seems to assume that Congress expected information services to coexist with telecommunications services, not to replace them.
