Take this question: "What is the maximum monthly budget you would allocate to use the features enabled by the Adobe Flash Collaboration Service?" Isn't it obvious that I wouldn't like to pay anything unless I had a customer? Even if I had a customer - my cost should be deponent on how much that client are using the service, and not a monthly fee. Client size matters a lot, so I'd have to see all costs in relation to that. The client would of course also like to know the costs and weigh them against the advantages of the service. These forms were quite complex with 4 different factors (minimum) affecting the pricing. I just don't think that'll cut it. Keep in mind that the alternative is to set up your own FMS. The cost for that would be license, bandwidth, hardware and maintenance. If AFCS can solve that as well as scaling at a good price, it's worth the cost. If it costs the same as the bandwidth would cost me (with a small premium) I'd be very interested. J PS: Love the fact that Screen Sharing is in! Hi Mirhai,
