Owen,
Clarify... right now, many organizations with high-speed connections
to the Internet pay based on usage (including traffic sent). Doesn't
anyone on a usage-sensitive leased-line connection pay based on the
traffic regardless of the "legitimacy" of the hits received? Isn't
this why we all hunt down SMURFers?
