I agree that getting company business is a good thing for sustainability.
The "enhanced" price has been $40 for quite a while though, hasn't it? I have been paying for 2 years at a time and have been charged the same since 2007 (when I first moved from "member" to "enhanced"). I therefore do not think I can argue with a $10 price hike after 10 years of no price changes (my current 2-years expires in 2017).
I think I will move across to the "standard" plan (I like the new customised login screen) although I have no need for all that space.
I do think it becomes prohibitively expensive if you are on "standard" (for the personal domain) and then want to add multiple accounts for your kids who may be light users.
