A Moment of Wisdom

According to Slashgeo,  a company named OnTerra is offering a free service to Bing Maps as WMS.  So far none of the big commercial map providers (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, etc. ) have offered their services out as an open standard like OGC WMS.  I my development efforts I have used OpenLayers a bit and they make additional efforts to support these proprietary services … it would be nice for them to embrace the OGC standards too.
