Milton,

There's no particular rationale behind that number. I needed to fill
the blank and I offer it as a starting point for discussion. Is it too
high? Too low?

Until the end of the free pool, cost per address is as low as
fractional cents. After depletion, how much per address is too much?
How much is so much that for all intents and purposes the address
market has locked up and become ineffective?

Regards,
Bill
