Comment on Ask HN: Why are ISO standards so expensive?parent

Comments

Someone already pays for the work of making standards. And it's not ISO.

Someone has to pay for the work for implementing them too, but not for accessing the standard itself. Lot's of things were not free, because of someone trying to sit in the middle, where they shouldn't have.

I don't think you quite understand how ISO works, so its not really productive to have this conversation. Have a nice day.

It's clearly not working right, if it's still charging for actual access.
