Um... Keith?  Pretty much all of them *do* pay for their end of the communications
equipment.

The bigger question is why you pay for *your* end rather than insisting that
everybody who wants to talk to you pay for your end. (Hint:  Do you require
that the annoying sister in law you don't want to hear from also install gear
at their expense?  Does the answer change if you usually want to hear from
her but not today because reasons?)
