David, where'd you get your estimates? It was my understanding that it was
currently a very cheap method of communication, chiefly because commericial
interests don't yet control the bandwidths, and therefore do not charge
exorbitant fees for use of what is essentially inexpensive. I know that the
universities, governments, etc. have underwritten it, but without the profit,
I understood this to be a fairly minor expense/investment.
