Yes, if it's broken from one network but works from the rest, then the 
problem to fix is for that broken network.

If it's broken for everybody, then it's the one who has the broken end 
that needs to fix.

This is the same thing with IPv6, DNSSEC and all such new technologies. If 
there is only one ISP that does DNSSEC validation and it's broken because 
the zone is signed wrong, then that ISP gets blamed. In Sweden, where 85% 
of customers sit behind a DNSSEC validating resolver, nobody gets away 
with screwing up their zone signing because now it's their problem.

It's all about critical mass.
