That MAY happen, a user here reported getting contacted by phone, with CC willing to give a discount if he turned the public side back on. it would probably ONLY be offer if not enough subs had it on, and demand was high with strand mount not available yet (no permit or overhead lines) since you pay the same for the rented gateway giving you a discount doesn't make as much sense as say a free bump to the cap (you share, they share)
