The question they'll then ask themselves is "are there enough linux users
around to justify such an enormous expenditure in bandwidth"?

The sad fact is that ISPs around here dont have enough bandwidth to support
their existing user base, most of the time.

So, if y'all mail ISPs asking for sponsorship, produce some concrete facts and
figures (though where the fsck to get them from is another question ...)
