I agree with the Tolls/Taxes Idea, simply because Inrp IC|/[IND} Does this already. Through the Tradelane network see here:
Quote:In a joint venture, IC and Agiera Technologies recently developed a new real-time scanner system, called Universal Ship Identification (USI), that can be installed in jump gates and trade lanes. It allows IC to track shipments and levy tariffs appropriately. Some houses suspect that IC is using this data to gain a competitive advantage, but so far, nothing can be proven.
