My first thought is that every time something is wrong in the future
you'll get some smartypants saying, "hey didn't I pay a fee to make it
more reliable."
Not saying it's a bad idea, I just have a habit of seeing the bad things.

I was discussing the massive tower upgrade/retrofits that we are doing
with my V.P. right hand man. We are converting from 24vdc to 48vdc,
fiber and DC up the tower, additional grounding at the tower,
additional grounding at the service panel, adding panel surge
protectors and adding a circuit surge protector at our equipment�. All
in the interest of reducing a lightning surge damage. Completely
redoing the box and going with EdgePoint S16s up the tower. All this
equals lots of $$ going out the door.
I was discussing the approach that we might take in discussing this
with the property owners where we have put up towers. Panel
protectors will certainly benefit the customers property as well as
the Florida storms aren�t kind, sometimes blowing out expensive
appliances in their homes, etc. So, was thinking of asking for some
kind of contribution to help just a little. That will probably be
received OK.
So, my V.P. asked if the �crowd� (you guys) has ever done any �special
assessment� to customers (one time additional fee) as a contribution
towards better reliability. Not sure how that will be received, but
it�s an interesting concept and every little bit would help against
the big bill.
Anybody done something like this, involving existing customers.
