Dear Kevin,

Thank you for the information. I just checked, and I saw that at my JOSM 
the two DigitalGlobe layers, Premium and Standard, are already 
available. I just have to open the JOSM's Imagery Preferences dialog and 
activate them.

The Premium layer is brighter and it seems that it has got a higher 
resolution. I compared them with the Bing and Mapbox layers for the 
places on the North shore of the Black sea which I know and which I map 
currently, and the DigitalGlobe layers are more recent for these 
particular places. I see on them buildings which were in fact 
constructed, but yet absent on other layers.

Thank you again.

With best regards,
Oleksiy
