It so confuses me that Commercial hosting is able to recover all
operating Costs AND are able to bring in Profit, while we struggle and
fail to be able to even cover Costs alone.
Why is that?

Why is it that Google, Facebook, etc. can use advertising to cover all
Costs AND also retrieve Profits while we cannot figure-out how to
cover Costs alone?
Shouldn't be easier to cover Costs alone? What is going on?

Franz, could you give us more detail about how you think these
open/closed borders should be defined?
