We run servers as a service to the Australian community, including other "free-to-play" titles, because if we didn't our community wouldn't have low ping servers to play on. We (GameArena / Mammoth Media) would be happy to chip in the resources for a few Mann Co. servers to make sure there are some available for Australia / New Zealand players, and of course we'd be happy to talk to Valve about running more (the same as we do for EA titles like Battlefield Play for Free and Battlefield Heroes).

I don't get why any admin would want to host a server that players have to pay to play on. Someone might figure out how to make a plugin to bypass it but Valve will probably patch that quickly.
