RE: [Asrg] Re: - More 'pay per' foolishness

["Hannigan, Martin" <[e-mail]>]

If anyone missed it, I'm not talking about "pay per" I'm talking about

providers to know exactly what their SMTP costs are and they can react
accordingly with rate plans that accomodate hamburgers, double cheesburgers,
and Big Mac's with fries.
