I'm looking into ways to charge users according to their internet use (MB), with one interesting package being PaperCut, which lets you print pre-pay cards for users, and bills them by time or bytes. Yes, I'm planning on being at the IT consultation in October ... hope to get some good ideas there! Yes, we’re using Squid, which by its report saves us about 10% of HTTP traffic.
