There's no correlation between amount of used capacity and willingless (or not) to pay for perpetual support services. Some customers
insist they don't want "ASM" fee included (that's why our competitors charge for a product and support separately), others want premium support,
others are willing to pay on "per incident" basis.

That's just my opinion.
