    Even with Accurint's price increases, the service is still far cheaper
    than Choicepoint's Autotrack. That said, I agree that prices are only
    going to go up. But a consolidation will save us the trouble and cost
    of searching two different databases, which we frequently do for
    comprehensive coverage.

            I know many people migrated from Accurint to Choicepoint because
    of Accurint's outrageous price increases... expect the same outrageous
    increases from Choicepoint... Monoploy is not just a board game...

            From a LexisNexis news release (2/21/08)

            I am pleased to let you know that earlier today our parent
    company, Reed Elsevier Group plc, announced its intention to acquire
    ChoicePoint Inc., a leading provider of identification and credential
    verification services to individuals, businesses, and governments.
    ChoicePoint will be combined with our Risk & Information Analytics
    Group, the unit that currently serves your business needs. (Additional
    text omitted).

            LN already owns Accurint...does this mean that Accurint and
    AutoTrack will merge someday..?
