I don't think so bob, unless the mandate is to provide services for the public good. While I may have over 100 free website on my server and handle mail for hundreds of poeple who need it and can't afford to pay for it, this is at my discretion, and if sombody, whether free or pay for, and they're say, spamming or geting 30M of mai la day, you're suggesting I should put up with this ?
