Access to the chart data will be limited to a few companies .... most likely Garmin and Jepp. Foreflight will probably be directed to get the data from those that have contracts. So the cost to foreflight goes up and you know who's going to end up paying the increase.

I guess if it's still cheaper than sectionals, we are still ahead.

It does suck that they can't be free though.

Without easy access to sectionals, most pilots (IMHO) will just use the last paper chart they bought. This tells me that the FAA is just positioning themselves for a budget increase and safety isn't really their directive .... at least for GA. The general public doesn't care about little planes so we become that pimple on the FAA butt.
But, it isn't over 'till the fat lady sings ..... and she's still searching for a good song.
