Go to D&D's main page.
Check out the D&D Insider Toolbox to the right.
Now check the colors of the little dragons around the borders of the icons.
No border (name gemerator, character sheets)
Bronze border (compendium)
Silver border (character builder, dungeon, dragon)
Gold border (Adventure Tools AKA Monster Builder)
...anyone else think this might be the idea they're working with for tiered pricing? Free tools, then bronze/silver/gold membership (or maybe since it's D&D, copper, silver, gold)?
If so, what would you think? Think the DM tools are going to be all Gold-level? Are the mags worth any more than the minimum access price? Should the Character Builder be free?
Let's say the price we're paying now is the "bronze" level...would you pay more for the CharBuilder or the mags? How about the adventure tools?
This is theoretical only -- all I have to go on are the border colors, and they might not even be the plan. But it gives us the first hint that they might be thinking about charging different amounts for access to different tools, and, especially, possibly charging DMs more than players. Otherwise, I'm not sure why they'd have different border schemes....
