IC-ENC

IC-ENC is a low cost, not for profit organisation which is financed out of ENC sales. IC-ENC's costs are recovered by retaining a 'fixed fee' per sale of each ENC subscription. The 'fixed fee' amount is decided by the Steering Committee, based upon costs and sales forecasts. Once the 'fixed fee' is set for the year ahead, each IC-ENC member is free to set its own wholesale ENC price.

The 'fixed fee' currently stands at US$0.50 for a 12 month subscription, which is reduced pro rata for shorter periods, for example a 3 month subscription is US$0.15...
