Yes and no. OSI 7layers was by Michel Elie/Huber 
Zimmerman, i.e. people from IRIA (i.e. public research  not from an operator).

Absolutely. This is why I modelize these three strata :

1. the catenet is much larger than onlt AT&T et al. It includes
     - the private bandwidth (remember that PS 
came in parallel to commercial and satellite 
bandwidth the FCC and PTTs had to simultaneously accomodate).
     - the local hardware. In the case of Tymnet 
there was a network multiservice/technology front 
end under network operating system. In X.25 or 
the Internet there are only the edges connected 
to the front-end/proxies (boxes) on the userside. 
Without considering my full VM IUI (intelligent 
use interface) or MyCANN Plug-in the catenet 
extends on hardware/software belonging to the user.

2. We agree on Operators (except that there are 
services that they offer or might offer) that are 
outside of the OSI model. I suspect that all the 
blahblah about network neutrality will fade away 
with NDN/Netflix (strangely enough no-one discussed Akamaï)

3 My personnal area (extended and semiotic 
services) actually span through OSI-6/OSI-7 and 
far beyond. Theur "ecology" is also quite 
différent (the digital neworks only cover passive 
content information communications, I am mostly 
interested in active content intellition, i.e. 
also in complex communications, meanings, 
intercomprehension). Services that I see delayed for 30 years :-)

Status-quo is NSA compatibility. Permissionless 
innovation is roughly to start back to my 1985/86 
budget plan. Things and Libre takes time. 
However, you may delay demands, not prevent needs.
