Based on 2008 pricing for full-regions:
Normal Pricing:
L$ 2.8 per prim per month for a Mainland region
L$ 5.2 per prim per month for a Private Island region
L$ 5.3 per prim per month for an OpenSpace region
Education and Non-Profit Pricing:
L$ 2.6 per prim per month for a Private Island region
L$ 2.7 per prim per month for an OpenSpace region
Proposed 2009 price jump for OpenSpaces:
L$ 8.8 per prim per month for an OpenSpace region
That's a 66.66% jump for most of us.
But with Education and non-profits no longer getting a break AT ALL on OpenSpaces, it's a 266.66% jump for them!
So...
Why would ANYONE agree now to pay L$8.8 pr prim per month for an OpenSpaces region?
