Soooo, if a group of guys got together and formed a loose confederation of
propeller-headed geeks, couldn't they share the cost of the Manufacturer
ID, and other costs except for Product Cost: Each propeller-head could pick
up their own producid ID cost. This would certainly reduce the cost of
entry for the little guy. Anyone seen the contracts?

I can;t recall what the exact amount is, but it pretty much forces any
would-be
small scale developer out of the market. I seem to recall it is around
$2500
but
I'm not sure. I gave up on it a long time ago.

To get your first product going, it costs $10,500. This includes
manufacturer ID, product ID, manual costs, approval costs, test suite etc.
