Actually, it wouldn't have to be an "upcharge". If you can get TW to sell the Internet access at "wholesale" rates, in exchange for the volume and offloading of support and billing, you could offer a "free computer"; pricing the combined package at the same as standard RR rates. The question is whether the centralized management would make the support economical enough to be profitable.

In which case, TW would do it themselves.
