John, this is a great idea.  It would cost IBM one big honking server (some
of which they could mark as a charitable expense if they did it right, but I
digress).  The support costs would be offset by the fees.  A base price of
less than your monthly DSL or cable service would put it in the right
ballpark.

Anyone see why this wouldn't work?
