They appear to be trying to undercut us. They also appear to be suceeding.
Undercutting? I'd say it's the price point for an DVD encyclopedia. The de: DVD is EUR10,- (about US$12). Encarta is US$45. The regular price of the EB DVD is US$50. If we put up ISOs of a finished product en:, US$10 plus postage sounds like a price point someone could sell them at for convenience (4.7GB is slooow even on common present broadband) and a small profit.

look at the price for the condensed paper version. We would have a hard time matching that.
