Hank I don't know whether we're in a similar position here, except that I understand what you're saying and have a lot of sympathy for your proposal. I'd make one suggestion about the tariffs you mention. In addition to once-off charges, there should be recurrent charges. These would be planned to cover ongoing maintenance costs. They would also encourage customers to use the resource prudently. These charges should be small but noticeable. For example, if an organisation is paying $yy a year for the use of a Class C network, then it will be quick to hand it back when it no longer needs it for any reason. Perhaps you meant that the charges proposed by recurrent. If so, sorry for wasting the time of the list. Cheers. Mike
