Hi Gream, I've been thinking the same back when Google upped their prices.
This is what I understand and I'm happy to be corrected. OSM (and their infrastructure) is not intended to be used as tile server for (commercial?) Tile consumers. If you search for it OSM has in the past disabled access to load hungry tile consumers, think apps etc. The idea is that osm provides the data. Tile consumers should either engage with a 3rd party that provides tiles (e.g. geofabrik or MapQuest or...) Or set up their own tile renderer. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
