Yes exactly.  Normally it is very troublesome to change nameservers in an 
organisation.  If they ISP maintained seperate nameservers for their 
clients only and have everyone on DHCP it would be easier for them to 
change them for clients only.  But even then the impetus to change them 
often would seem to be missing.
