The various pricing models out there (especially those based on volumes)
surprised me. We've seen pricing basically fall into the $.06 to $.08 per KC
range with no minimums and no volume-based levels. I didn't know anyone was
paying over $.10 these days or having to deal with complicated invoices each
month.

The prices _are_ becoming simpler. With my clients, a flat fee was unknown
until recently.

Is that per Transaction or per KB? I don't understand "2k 810 will cost
7.5cents per KB"
