Opera Data Systems, Inc. Price Change Statement.
Though we were considering these changes as early as July 07, we waited
as long as we could to help our current customers survive the
current industry woes.
These changes are a regular adjustment Opera makes every 4-5 years.
In our case in the last 5 years, Opera has seen large cost rises in the
many areas,
including Electric Costs, Fuel Costs, Increased Taxes, Increased Data
Costs,
Increased Communications Costs, and increased costs due to the current
industry conditions.
Opera's web Pricing and Terms pages will be changed to reflect this restructuring
some
time within the 1st week of March 2008, but will be in effect from March
1, 2008
regardless. We will make every effort to update the Opera Web Site Web
Pages and
Billing Programs/Reports before or during that time!
Opera customers currently on fixed rate contracts will retain their contract
amounts
but will be subject to the new rates within their contracts.
