Obviously that could be true for a while, but you do continue to pay them
money and they will make up the difference before too long. You make it
sound like that one call is an ongoing obligation.

And the cost issue could be greatly mitigated with an online configuration
switch, secured with e-mail confirmations and stuff like that. (Obviously
you have to protect against a zombie operator setting the switch.)
