There are very many ISO/IEC standards priced at zero, see:

What is the problem to set zero price for ISO/IEC IS 14882?
Those free standards seem to have a large corporation or international organization as a sponsor.
Looking at http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/meetings I see names of not small corporations such as IBM, Microsoft, Google, etc. listed as Corporate Sponsors.
Yes, that might be the problem.
For some reason the free standards seem to have a SINGLE sponsor. Wonder why?
The names I mentioned are listed as ECMA ordinary members http://www.ecma-international.org/memento/ordinary.htm and that doesn't prevent all of ECMA standards to be free of charge for downloading. I never understood why C++ committee members do not want to simply get rid of ISO for development and develop under ECMA with fast tracing to ISO finished ECMA standard... regards, alexander.
