That was exactly my point, thank you JW.
The article I was referring to was written to sort of guide contractors
through the process of adding additional business line - CCTV, but I was
left rather confused.  It seems like the guideleines they give - 1/3 of
the cost are real hard to justify unless CCTV equipment breaks and
requires lot more ongoing service than telecom equipment I'm more familiar
with. So, I'm basically looking for some real life examples if possible
for service contract pricing on a comparable size system.

Thanks!
