If I read the various links in the articles (most of them in Dutch), then
one of the questions is if reselling services from an ISP, makes the
reseller itself an ISP.  The telecom regulatory body (OPTA) says yes, the
association of hotel owners (KHN) says no.   There are legal arguments either
way.
