I believe the explanation that everyone is looking for with this "revenue sharing" piece is there is a difference between revenue boosting, and revenue saving.
With all the competition from the major players in our market today, we constantly have to integrate new services at no additional price increase to our customers - whether it be extra Spam filtering services, larger bandwidth allocations on web sites, more email accounts in standard hosting packages, etc. This results in added expenditures with no additional revenue. Each time we have to do this, we have to weigh the factors - what is the cost per user to implement? Will it allow us to keep the customer for another year? We do not get new customers because we have a remarkable Spam filter system that no one else has - all ISP's in my market provide Spam filtering. We get new customers because we get to know them by first names and provide 24/7 customer service that is hard to find elsewhere.

If revenue would not be lost without it and it costs you money to provide then what is the business case for providing the service? Last I checked business, are in business to make money on capital investments/expenditures. Not spend money for things that do not make money. An analogy: Does a restaurant make revenue from toilet paper?
