Firstly, not everyone makes money from the use of resources. Non-profits, charitable organisations, and individuals with PI space exist.
True. A common solution for this problem is a minimum fee. But then again, non-profits and charitable organisations also have a budget.
Secondly, it would require the NCC to *know* how much money a member makes and this information is something a non-public company would not be keen to divulge.
Ask for tax declarations and keep the information confidential.
Thirdly, I'm sure there are many large telcos who, while using large amounts of resources, are actually making a loss on paper. Will they get a free ride?
I would take revenue/turnover instead of profit as base for calculating a fee. Cheers, j. -- j.hofmüller http://users.mur.at/thesix/
