A while ago me (from Belgium), Livia Labate (from Brazil) and Rashmi Sinha (from India) were nagging Asilomar to implement different prices for different countries.
The basic price of $40 is a pretty good deal - that is - if you live in the US. If you live in, say, India, and are a student, it is prohibitive. So we wrote a proposal, which has now been implemented by the excellent folk at Asilomar.
Indian students fall in the Group A - students category and get free memberships (I'm so happy we got this through). See how little you could be paying at AIfIA Membership Signup. I hope more organizations adopt this approach.
