What about sites outside the US guys ? I the UK the cost is spread
over ALL the sites. We want a vote too. If you carry the those who
pay concept to the UK then every tax payer in the country might be
allowed a vote. 

A question ( I know something like it has been asked before but
I can't remember if this particular point was aired). I know that 
we discussed whether non backbone sites might call their feed and 
in this way spread the cost. This was seen as difficult to implement.
OK do non backbone sites pay anything (even a subscription )?

Craig.
