I do believe it's smart to wait until the proposal becomes law before sweating bullets, or before making stupid announcements that could alienate you from your primary client base.. not that anyone has done that yet...
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if most content providers charged a higher rate for content including docs. My reasoning:
Content providers will see their costs go up because of 2257
Content providers will either raise all rates to cover the new costs, or, will have two pricing structures - 1 with extended (2257) docs, 1 without (with maybe the current level of documentation).
It's business, it's cost of sales. A provider can't just eat that increase.
I'd think they would raise prices across the board. But, I don't know how extensive an individual content provider's record
keeping system would be.
However, I'd personally eat the cost of providing documentation on "old sales", and factor the new prices in on new sales only.
I think.
