I hadn't really thought about this before, but do outsiders assume that 
the "academic" part of that stakeholder group are the people responsible 
for building out the Internet to Universities?

eg JANET in the UK and TERENA in the Netherlands which talks about 
"fostering the development of Internet technology, infrastructure and 
services to be used by the research and education community."

In other words the equivalent of the private sector ISP rather than 
users of the connectivity who also happen to be more interested in law 
than particle physics?
