1000 euro for digital elevation model of Stockholm, one user license
more than 300km² (but lots of water) :-)

if we are just going to list prices for geodata. But as said above
it's impossible to get the prices correct since the limitations are so
important. For many companies it might be enough with a one user
license, and I'm guessing that is what big mapping companies have been
selling up until now.
