You should only use .net if you use it for its intended purpose -- the
infrastructure nodes of a network. As for .info, again, use it only if
you're providing information -- running a business off .info is a
disservice to its intended clientele. And as for .biz, it's a total
failure.

An ISP should only use .net for its routers and infrastructure nodes.
If it provides access to users, those should be on .com, or if they
don't care about anyone actually finding them, .biz.
And not reserving .org for non-profits is one of the great travesties of
recent history.
