I completely disagree.  They are _very_ different.  A spotting network is 
someone else helping you operate.  Yes, the technology of stations and radios
is going to change over time, and the operators that can drive their high
tech stations the best have a learned skills advantage, but it's theirs
alone.  Letting someone else operate on your behalf is an entirely different
thing.
