[OSGeo-Discuss] [Fwd: Fee vs Free]

[Bruce Bannerman]

There is a slide that I've seen relating to the Canadian SDI and the
dramatic increase in downloads of data in the twelve month period after
data was made free for download.


http://www.thinkwell.ca/cgdi-icdg/libraryDocs/FeevsFree.pdf 



It shows an increase from around 96,000 to > 5.4 Million downloads in
that period.



Can anyone point me to some studies that support the claim made in this
slide please?
