That's a perfect way to solve this problem! Charge them!
So do you store how many simultaneous sessions the account has had over
the last month (or whatever billing period)? That's a pretty cool
solution.
btw, do you automatically charge their credit card? Or send them a bill
in the mail? If you do charge their cards, are the credit card
companies ok with you automatically charging them? Seems like you would
get a few angry customers. But maybe not.
