Because PC Pursuit is a stepchild idea designed to suck up some otherwise unused cycles from their normal packet service, which is exhorbitantly expensive compared to PC Pursuit prices. They don't want you to make large amounts of it, they just want the $30 per person that they can get by selling the off-peak usage for. For "commercial" or otherwise large scale sites, they want you to buy their horrendous standard service. -Ron
