I was wondering what everyone's reaction was to the upcoming
changes in the TEI structure. I saw in an info-vax post that
DEC is planning to completely revamp the TEI charging
structure. In particular, the following charging structure
will be implemented:

The cost of administering the CSLG could no
longer be borne by DEC and that the CSLG prices would be
increased to $100 per PAK for 1993, $200 per PAK for 1994 and $500 per
PAK after that, along with a $500 fee per change to the CSLG agreement.
  
Now, it seems to me that a number of educational sites
will be forced to seriously reconsider future expansion plans
with DEC equipment since this new pricing scheme will basically
destroy DEC's educational software advantages over another
vendor like SUN.

Any comments?
