Ok, I'm just chucking this idea against the wall and seeing if it sticks.

Nintendo has admitted that doing online themselves was a bad idea and have said they are getting another company to help them out - ( http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109769-Nintendo-Admits-Wiis-Online-Didnt-Cut-It)

Valve have had great success with Steam in the PC market place and Nintendo is well aware of Valve. Some former employees of Valve include  people who have worked on: Xbox Dashboard, apple Product UIs, PS3 and at Nintendo. Valve has now had the experience of porting over Steam to the PS3 giving them extra Console experience. I believe they are well equiped to do a online system for Nintendo.  They would have to work closely with Ninty to make it in a Nintendo Style. 

The one downfall of this is, Valve time - would they create it in time for the launch of Cafe? well if they started working on it sometime time ago - Maybe. 

Is it in the best interests of Valve to do this? Well they have ported steam to the PS3, maybe if Nintendo give them a very good deal, I believe valve can make a system that would be worth the expense.

I have no idea who the online system company really IS and if someone knows please tell me and let me put this Theory to bed.

Footnote: I believe Gamespy helped with the last Nintendo system.
