My goodness, I've NEVER heard of any such thing.

This moves closer and closer to abuse of market power it's not funny.

Imagine if Petrol Companies charges service stations a fee to sell petrol!

Or Telstra charged a fee to ... oh hang on, they already own the market.

I'll have to check various laws again, but I do recall somewhere that a fee 
can not be charged by an association or organisation to become a user of 
seller of the services.

In fact I'm sure it's an ACCC ruling.  I think we used it in the TIO case.
