Press release from late March 2012:
http://media.digitalglobe.com/press-releases/digitalglobe-providing-broader-content-across-micr-nyse-dgi-0865300

Selected quote: "The first agreement more than doubles the volume of
high-resolution imagery DigitalGlobe delivers to Microsoft for use in
its Bing Maps service. The imagery, delivered on a quarterly basis,
will provide refreshed content covering millions of square kilometers
of the earth's surface, including up-to-date imagery for the world's
highest-density urban areas."

Hopefully, this new imagery will still be available for tracing in OSM. :)
