We expect Google to maintain price steady for as long as feasible, whatever it is.
Google's pricing is always based on resource usage. Moving towards "MONTHLY" system is not good. 1) You may have same pricing structure for FULL TEXT because the resource usage going to increase anyway ( with extra index scan and all ) and total billing is going to increase. why separate billing ? 2) Same for SQL : CPU usage is going to increase and can be billed. why separate billing ? 3) For, HTTPS, Google is already charging extra for secure requests. Why separate billing ? **Better way to increase profit is to reduce FREE QUOTA for application.** "Google App Engine" is not public service as Google Search is. We expect extremely quality ( latency, speed, availability ) by default from Google ( without paying separately for it. :P ) On Feb 11, 9:56 am, James Broberg <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd recommend any/all app developers to go over and have look.
