After the recent hype in price, I would love to know WHAT type of a relationship they THINK they have with their advertisers and lets face it if we all increased our prices on a similar percentage we would all be looking to retire next year!

Possibly, but's it not real clear, they don't seem to limit the total number of listings. The two passages below don't seem all that different.....
"Under the agreement, NBCi's users will have access to a minimum of GoTo's top two Premium Listings."
"The current implementation on NBCi includes the top two Premium Listings, as well as an additional five search results."

They will not be able to rely on GoTo to get them through the mess their in.
Some very BIG change has to happen here and not of the usual out of the box stuff .
If it doesn't we will be left with AOL and AOL clones all running the same PPC listings.
