IBM has just announced they're reducing the cost for renting mainframe time.
Here's a quote from their newsletter:
"On August 1, 2007, IBM will offer all PartnerWorld members who qualify for
mainframe server benefits the ability to participate in the enhanced Remote
Development Program at a cost substantially lower than offered previously.
For example, the Dedicated Fixed Monthly Cost Advanced z/OS V1 R8 Remote
Development Program offering, which is currently priced at US$2000/month
will cost less than US$500/month. Additional cost may be incurred for
additional requirements."
For small ISV's this is a big step in the right direction! For more details
