I'm not sure of the validity of that argument - air is quite important to me, and I think that's probably one of the reasons I _don't_ have to pay for it. There are rules to ensure that space is conserved and allocated appropriately; I don't see a need to add an economic challenge as well, which gives a strong bias towards the large player. There are enough of those already. And if the claim is that this amount of dosh is what's actually required for administration, then I'd suggest there's some wastage somewhere ... Richard
