From this[1] TechCrunch article:

>>> We’ve not heard a firm price. Aside from the $300 million figure we heard, another described Terra Bella as essentially being “donated” to Planet.

There are a slew of other earth imaging companies coming on line, will this hurt their valuations?

donated? what a joke! unless Google just want to write off some tax deductions.
