How much would Google have to drop the price to reverse the trend?
The plain old JS API would come to about $1000 a month for a site with 1 million map views. Mapbox (http://mapbox.com/plans/) meters by bandwidth but by my estimate (4gb map, low for a global map I know, and 1,000,000 views) it's still about $600.
Then again tilemill, tilestache, and leaflet are all free and work great once you get it going.
