The term 'operational use' has never actually been defined. But if we
were to define it then I suspect it will be more about network
operators solving technical problems with keeping networks online.

Content providers 'not=' network operators.

Welcome to the modern world. Like it or not, legal considerations have
much more influence on technical life now than they did in the early
days of the internet. We have to live with this and work with it
rather than try to fight against it. The solution is simple in
principle...we bring the purposes of the database into line with the
content and usage. The need to do this has been on the horizon for a
long time...
