Hi there,

Steve is working for Microsoft Bing and accieved the access of their
aerial imagery for OpenStreetMap:

Now it's up to "us" to make the WMS-/Yahoo-plugin read Bing-tiles :-)

I think, adding support for OpenLayers would make everything easier,
but it would also allow to steal data from Google Maps...

Best regards,
Tobias
