“In the Internet world, both ends essentially pay for access to the Internet system, and so the providers of access get compensated by the users at each end.

And what he should ideally do is make him more money than the ten percent.” WayFeelsShouldWritingYearsStillsEndsCoursesPayToo MuchTenPercentAgentsMore MoneyClients Author:Roger Zelazny
