As I recently announced to this list before Christmas, the CBC (Canadian 
Broadcasting Corporation) has taken the plunge and begun making content 
available over the Internet.  The success of this trial has led them to 
believe that the Internet offers a major opportunity to reach new audiences, 
Canadians living abroad, and potential new markets for their content and 
services.

They have asked me to find out what the proper etiquette is on the Internet 
with regard to billing for services *and* to advise them how this could be 
done.

I would appreciate any advice or ideas that the participants on this list 
could share with me.  

Thank you once again for your support and your time.
