My example: I can call IBM and request PTF tapes. This is "built into" the costs of z/OS and the other program products. But if I want to use ShopzSeries, upload my CSIs, then download a consolidated set of PTFs, I need to pay. But the latter is totally automated. It just proves that you don't pay based on anything other than what the vendor thinks that they can get away with. Even if the historical method actually costs more. Business makes no sense to me.
If you're really paying to use ShopzSeries, I know how you can save some money.
