I have provided the link as research that shows that the competitive ISP market is tending towards product differentiation. While the final product delivered may be essentially the same, the customer is attracted by the marketing hype. The ISP is organizing its pricing to appear to be the most attractive. What is the cost, to CCN, for offering custom user accounts? In the competitive market costs are often absorbed and recovered in some other way. American Airlines, for example does not profit from the sale of passenger seats, but on the interest charged on the American Airline credit card balance. If our 'pricing' shows VDN or custom account names as a cost to our members, then our competition may offer the same service 'free' in order to differentiate his product from ours. In the end our competitor must recover their costs in some way. MicroSoft gives Windows 95 away 'free' as a marketing cost. The sale of other software can be focused on a captured market of registered users of Windows 95. While our entire approach may be drastically different, we must still gather intel on the market.

I assume this is merely storage area and the business or organization requires an independent Internet connection. Am I correct in assuming CCN is offering a better deal.
