From: Jim Dixon <jdd@vbc.net> To my way of thinking, content providers are net producers of 'benefit' and say dial-up users are consumers. We adjust our prices to reflect this: if you buy a leased line from us to run a Web server, we charge you less; if you are a dial-up provider, we charge you more. Most end users would agree with this model. They pay their 10 quid / 15 bucks a month so that they can surf the Web. They don't expect the Net to pay them ;-) So basically what you're saying here is that your ISP should be paying you to connect to your web servers, and they will pass the charges on downstream to their customers? ---Rob
