Thanks Dean, but could you also find out if say, a not profit org -
whose home page could be called "how to cope with death" will be
charged timed local data calls for any email it sends, faxes it sends,
time spent online, including time upgrading its pages, etc.

Would they just have to pay the normal rate charged by its ISP?
