You make me wonder what all the maps and satellite images used for Google
Earth cost. That would be something worth having. But as far as I know this
stuff is so expensive that a more sensible approach might be to ask: what
resolution and age could we get for say $10 million? Not much, I suspect,
because it's expensive enough without a right to sublicense.
