AusBONE - The way the Internet should work.
All new members pay the joining fee.
Other costs depend on how many routers you want to place in the AusBONE racks. ISPs joining on the starter membership will be restricted to a single 64kbps ISDN line. Buying three starter lines would be illogical, of course, because it's the same charges as the full membership without the restrictions. If you are very small, you may not be able to afford the monthly fee. If you have a national network already, you may not want to use ours.
