Third Voice had issues, but it was an early adopter of overlay networks. I forgot http://www.wired.com/techbiz/media/news/2001/04/42803 as a company in here.

We've been discussing for years how the HUMAN is the most important and interesting node of the network, the "layer8" of the OSI model. With the web is becoming the data transport protocol of choice, we humans have the potential to be more tightly integrated with the web. Exciting possibilities and at the same time scary! This reminded me of a post I wrote a few years back "The Network IS the human" which was inspired by successful tests of 10 Mbps epidermal network transfers: http://infreemation.net/the-network-is-the-human/ The most important network node has always been the human, even pre-internet. Remember SNEAKERnet? AR will bring a whole new meaning to the concept of a node crashing...for example a night at the bar may lead to some temporary system instability...
