I'm confused.  To what "same thing" are you referring?

I've explained that making site-local the DEFAULT multicast scope boundary places the subscriber network in the same organization-local scope as the provider network, whereas making organization-local the DEFAULT multicast scope boundary places the subscriber network and the provider network in different organization-local scopes.

In what way are subscribers and providers part of the same organization?  Why are they not separate organizations by DEFAULT?
