That is not what the report says. The report says:

According to the report, roughly 50% of current initiatives will fail to breakeven even if the benefit of the initiative is assumed to be $25 per user per month.


They are not saying that most will fail if they charge $25 a month, they are saying that if you assume that each user receives $25 of benefit each month, then half of the projects will not break even. That is not the same as charging each user $25 per month, since it avoids supply-demand issues related to price.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13834126 Thu, 07 Jul 2005 13:20:04 EDT
