NGA US navigational data at risk?

You can get all the same data from the FAA in the National Flight
Database, but it would cost you $150 a year to receive the CD ROM.
Also, the data in in the ARINC 424 standard format, so you you want to
know how to interpret and use this data, that will cost you an
additional $252 to buy the ARINC 424 standard from ARINC.

I just checked NACO's website and found that. I don't recall seeing it
there just a few weeks ago, so I imagine it's new.

I don't really care about paying for the data...after all, considering
the work that goes into maintaining it, $150 a year is still heavily
subsidized IMHO. My concern was being able to get the raw data at all.
I guess I can breathe a bit easier now.

Thanks for the tip.
