That's the whole point, there is no need to 'up the price' because of
it, to do otherwise is just profiteering, it's just a last minute  money

Many don't need to know the ins and outs, all they need to do is be
aware if like other  "requirements" an ISP might have to provide

retailer about it, they wont need or care what it is, just that their
CPE is capable.
