you mean the phone companies we do business with?
No, I mean the internet. (Hence, ISPs). Your product, in the context of this discussion anyways, is access to the internet. When the actions of a downstream damage that product(IE more and more networks nullroute UUNet traffic), I would assume that you have appropriate privilege to toss them overboard in the contracts.

IANAL, though.
