Market opportunity I would have thought...

I did some research into doing something similar in the UK, and
could have provided it for about 200UKP a year. The thing is that
the consumers didn't believe it could be that cheap - they viewed
it as a luxury only rich people could afford and wouldn't pay the
price which they thought it would realistically cost.

tenuk.com are doing something similar - they charge a thousand
a year for essentially the same service. But it's London only
and they have quite a small customer base, so it may not be
sustainable.

Cheers
Martin
