KAGroove reports on the Grooveforums that Groove has decided to ends it's ludicrous international pricing policy.

We decided to stop charging an international price uplift for the time being primarily because of customer feedback. When we launched v3.0, we once again heard from people outside North America that they didn’t agree with this approach, especially since we currently don’t provide any localized versions, e.g., French, German or other non-English languages. Given this feedback, and our overall desire to simplify pricing, licensing, upgrades, etc., we decided to revert to a single worldwide price for each of our products.

EContent : Groove Networks Inc. has announced that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has signed a $4.1 million multi-year contract for Groove Virtual Office software as a component of the organization's Knowledge Management Environment, which is an element of the Corps' transition to a "learning organization."
