I wonder how much this will bump new subscribers before it takes effect. I guess it's Pingdom and Founders Card who took the "escalating price grandfathered-subscription model" to the limit, but it might be interesting if Netflix committed to roughly the same thing. (with FC, it started out as $99/yr renewable at that price indefinitely for ~$300 in benefits, and went up $50 every half-year along with increased benefits; it's now about $400/yr and maybe $400-600/yr in value). This might be an interesting model for SaaS startups, and is sort of related to the kickstarter "50 units at early adopter discount" model of tiered pricing.
