This is not a matter of the phone companys charging ISPs or local users LD rates. This effects the money that competing local telephone providers (like BellSouth and e.spire) pay to each other when people make local calls that go to another phone provider. They don't pay each other to connect long-distance calls, so this actually is a reduction in the fees paid by local carriers to each other.

May I politely say, bull****. That desktop computers don't need to be reliable and fail to crash is the biggest computing lie ever inflicted on the public. There is no reason that ANY computer should spontaniously crash, shy of electrical failure or component malfunction.
I would imagine that it would be much easier to ensure that your clients keep coming back for more seeds by getting them to sign a contract to that effect. Or price your seeds higher if they don't want the contract.
