action Stefan :)
But on the other side we had problems with servers last weeks, so why
not pointing to the Tile usage policy in the same way? To me the OSM is
a free project, but the server ressources are not is quiet easy to

The question is, can you run your own tile server for less money than the
Google's payment model. If you can, OSM is for you. If you can't, google
maps is still ok.

Wrong.
The question is: can you run your own tile server for more
freedom. If the answer is yes, OSM is for you.
If you answer I don't care freedom, Google maps is
You're just missing the point of press releases. It's not necessarily to make a
logical point, it's to get press and therefore more users. Something that just
says people should switch to OSM in the context of this kind of news will get

Well, another aspect for a press release might be, that OSM has limited
resources as well. Maybe this visualisation and analysis of the tile
usage by Apps would be a good starting point:

Hi
I was alerted by a large national search company telling me that they
are using G* Maps but now they are glad to know that there exists OSM
as an alternative (to what has tbd.).
And there are also blogs saying that smaller developers will be hit
too, especially when their innovative website

A press release from OSM would be a good idea.

Saying what? That we have stricter policies?
I don't know what point we would make. GMaps users are not only paying
for the map data they're using - which they can of course get for free
at OSM - but also for a full-featured, well-documented, integrated API
with routing, geocoding, vector overlays and what have you, allowing
