Comment Last Month for Free MAPS - Not (Score 5) 191
MAPS has announced that this is the last month for non-subscription access to our lists. As stated in the announcement:
"We will still offer some reduced fee or free query contracts under limited circumstances."
Individual users and hobbyists can still obtain access to the lists for free. There is simply some paperwork involved. Not for profits, educational institutions, etc., are eligible for substantial discounts. It is not our intent to deny access to our services because of the inability to pay for a subscription. Those that can afford to pay are being required to do so.
Incidently, the cost for most ISPs would equate to about $0.05 per user per year
