I really hope that AT&T will wake up while reading all those
articles on the net considering this unbelievable pricing policy.

Most of the "smaller" companies won't be able or are not willing
to pay the price AT&T requires. 

We seriously considered taking C++ for the future language
for development of Software (while using C now), because
it's a great language but we are not willing to pay this
price (How much will be C++ V3.0 !??).

It's a pity how a company can sentence a great language
to death by a silly pricing policy.
