Yes. Transmission cost would be fixed and cover the cost of delivering
the first bit, consumption cost would be variant and cover the cost of
adding capacity, this is the model for electricity in some markets and
I think it's a great model. In some markets transmission you can buy
only from one player, depending on location, but consumption you can
buy from anyone.
