Most businesses have this sort of thing. For example, I use to work for BellSouth, a large telecomunications company based in the US south east area. Each business unit was charged, in accounting terms, $6 per square foot of office space used as overhead (this was some time ago, I'm sure it would be more now).

Were you bought out? Or was Bell South not in that buyout?
