In a similar vein, actor Dave Foley's divorce: (nsfw language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaC-2lj6HNg

video tldr: He on a show in the 90s and making $1 mil+, the show was canceled and he was without a job but stuck with the child support and alimony of $17700 a month, which can't be adjusted down per the law. He hasn't been able to keep up and doesn't can't go to Canada to see his kids for fear of being arrested immediately.

How much would Google have to drop the price to reverse the trend?

The plain old JS API would come to about $1000 a month for a site with 1 million map views. Mapbox (http://mapbox.com/plans/) meters by bandwidth but by my estimate (4gb map, low for a global map I know, and 1,000,000 views) it's still about $600.

Then again tilemill, tilestache, and leaflet are all free and work great once you get it going.

I've been using webcron.org for a few projects, works well enough, but my most important criteria is price for something this simple. It's really cheap, $0.00014 per request.
