Do what we do. Bill for each additional simultaneous access. We bill
$1/hour/additional connect. We have a few businesses that just buy one
account and pay the extra charge (often $50-$150 a month). Our billing
software doesn't count overlaps of under a set time (30 seconds) or bill
for total simultaneous usage of under 5 minutes (that weeds out
disconnects that don't immediately drop the modem). Out of a little
under 2000 users, we get as much as 600-700 hours a month of
simultaneous usage. After a month or so, the extra income paid for the
extra development of the tracking software.
