understood.  but the set of services is the union of the services the
members need, not the intersection.

but a discussion of the services seems quite appropriate, just not here.
i think we get to do that separately.

it represents 100% of mine.  rgnet has only expense, and it's all NCC
fees.  rgnet has no paying customers, just research.  but that is a
conscious choice.  and i sympathize with the small isps.  which is why i
keep asking about finer granularity with a non-capped curve.  a
'progressive' rate, kinda like the american income tax was supposed to
be.
