- If they _do_ take this into account when calculating their unit
- costs, they must estimate the amount they make from these part units
- and adjust the unit costs accordingly. It's a pretty dodgy way of
- pricing services whatever they are doing, the fact they tell you how
- their dodgy system works doesn't mean they are not overcharging.
