| As you are probably aware the LEGI funding for the SOWE project has now come to an end. This means that Digitalife (along with several other organisations) will have to look at other ways of funding its activities. This may mean that Digitalife will have to charge for certain services in order to keep them going. It would be very helpful if you could please give an indication of what you might be prepared to pay. Digitalife are looking at other funding options but it is unlikely this will be sufficient to continue providing the same number of services free to the user. With regard to the following services please can you indicate how much you would be prepared to pay for the service:
