I wonder what those "other means" are considering that their sole
business is providing Internet access.


"providing Internet access" has two rather different meanings
dependant on context. One is the provision of physical bit of wire,
glass or WHY. The other is the provision of the services and link(s)
to the internet that are carried over the physical provision.


Except that 'modern' ISPs don't any longer provide webspace, Usenet or
even email.

Or often, DNS.
