Steve Rubel flags what could be an alarming trend: Google is apparently going to start charging for access to its AdWords API. “If charging for API data becomes more widespread among the big players, it will slow innovation,” Rubel says. The difference here is that AdWords is specifically a revenue-producing app, so it may be more understandable that Google charge for it. If other open APIs come in for the same treatment, though, it could certainly have a chilling effect on innovation.
