I strongly disagree.  One of the core reasons, as I understand it, that we 
have different fees for different sized organizations is based on their 
ability to pay.  Understanding how inexpensive it actually is to startup a 
new ISP is critical to understanding how affordable the fees are to an 
xx-small organization.
