[talk-au] Fwd: Yahoo aerials will not be available after September 13, 2011

[David Murn]

Maybe someone should suggest to SteveC if he's looking for spots Bing
can update, is the parts that yahoo are removing.  Oh well, as long as
OSM still has Microsofts products to help, everythings all good..
Microsoft will never change/shutdown their service once theyve burned
the bridges with every other provider.  Hopefully it wont be a complete
failure when all the OSM eggs in the MS basket fall apart.
