i am engaged in ongoing discussions with Margie about use of the MAPS
services by small businesses (such as the part time one i run) who
can't afford the service at full price. it is quite clear that MAPS
will work with folks in order to avoid cutting them off where
possible. the important thing about this is that MAPS wants to move
everything to a contract based subscription service, and MAPS wants
large providers who have been getting the benefits of the service for
free for years to start helping pay the freight.

Margie was also promising to put together a central fee schedule page
on the MAPS web site; right now the information is apparently
scattered about quite a lot.
