While I'm bothered by the potential for serious competition, it is hard to imagine they wouldn't have excellent statistics on what to anticipate in churn related to the restructuring of the revenue stream. But the market may see it as a declination in the growth curve.

Management has been superb thus far, and I doubt the price increase will prove to have been a miscue but in the short term I'd bet on a market over-reaction to the churn. Longer-term, APPL seems to be the big threat. A year ago it looked like AMZN might be a threat but it doesn't seem like they're going anywhere with it.
