[AusNOG] Credit Reference Checks on Customers (Smile)

[Skeeve Stevens]

Stephen,

That is actually very kind of you.  I've seen a few smaller ISPs screwed by
their wholesalers over the years when a customer with a big circuit has
gone bust, and they've enforced the contract strongly.  So it is refreshing
you've taken this view.
