Sure there's a price to pay. But that doesn't mean the facility doesn't
exist. And I rather suspect that most of Josh's customers aren't too
concerned about traffic charges or affected by such bandwidth
restrictions. Certainly, none of my clients are, and they aren't in the
giant class. Shipping a 16Mb file, particularly if compressed, every
minute or so, is not such a huge problem for a great many commercial
users, and even many domestic users.
