The Internet has value because it allows arbitrary interactions where new applications can be developed and fostered. The centrally controlled model would have prevented IM, web, sip applications, etc. from ever being deployed. If there are any operators out there who still understand the value in allowing the next generation of applications to incubate, you need to push back on this tendency to limit the Internet to an 'approved' list of ports and service models.
