Dear Sir or Madam,

Can you please detail, for each year since your public website was
launched, how much money has been spent on creating, developing,
and running it.

Where possible, please break these costs out by function (for
example, development, design, updates, changes, hosting,
co-location, domain registration, licensing etc). Where the costs
have been incurred with external providers, please list the company
in question. For internal staff time, if this is not recorded
and/or charged explicitly, please provide estimates based on
salary/overheads of people involved.

Yours faithfully,

Nick

Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Florence,

Thank you for this information. To clarify, as it is a little
unclear, were the amounts in the "Webhosting" column all paid to
UTV Internet, or is that different from the domain costs?

Also, can you please confirm whether you hold any information at
all that would help in estimating (even if not to a high degree of
precision) associated staff costs (e.g. X% of the time of someone's
time)?

Yours sincerely,

Nick
