"The service will require a small fee currently via PayPal to offset costs but we assure you it will be more affordable than the App Hub. Those who wish to write and immediately publish apps are recommended to sign up to the App Hub instead.ChevronWP7 Labs to bring new dev-unlocking tool to WP7 (for a small fee)
We?re excited to be making this service available to users with the support of the Windows Phone team."
Now, before we can pass judgement on this, we'd have to know how much we're talking here. That range can be from $1 to $98, we suppose and that's a large range. If we're talking $5-15 we can kind of look past it and almost think of it as a tip to the Team for their work; more than that and it starts looking like opportunism (and we'd be surprised Microsoft would be okay in losing that money).
