"US lifts restrictions on more detailed satellite images"

Now satellite image providers can supply up to 31cm resolution imagery for commercial or non military purposes. The previous pixel size was set at 50cm, so the quality of the imagery to be obtained from the data providers will be almost twice as clear as currently allowed. I am sure it will not be long before the public mapping sites like Google Maps, Bing Maps, etc. include these into their public online map services. Apart from just viewing, this will also contribute to even greater accuracy in Remote Sensing results.
