It's right in that Ascend (nee Netstar) has moved the "magic" to its (IMO) proper place below the routing socket. It's wrong insofar as they have been investing in improving and extending the gated they provide, to make it more stable and full-featured (we've added communities, aspath-prepend, route reflection and various other ISP-oriented features, also various bug fixes).
