And in the thread they confirm that you are going to have to pay to
retrieve (via API) the data your PWS provides ... I use WU data for other
projects (Home Automation for example) so if I cannot get at the data I am
providing ... well... I will provide it elsewhere and move away from WU

Its pretty conterproductive to do this on their part, if they are
monetizing the data, why cut off (piss off) your inbound data streams for
hyperlocal info
