Ya, okay, so overhead was the wrong word. The other word i used, infrastructure, would be more accurate. We pay for the actual cost of building and maintaining their transmission lines, which you'll never convince me is right. It would be like paying a trucker for the purchase cost of his truck and trailer so he can deliver freight to me, and still charging for delivering the freight too boot. If you think that's a fair system you can have it. By the way, I've got an idea for a new service you might like ... but you have to give me the money to start the company first.
