ArcGIS Online

With ArcGIS 9.2, ESRI introduced "ArcGIS Online," which provides access to 2D maps, street maps, 3D globes, reference layers, shaded relief map layers, and services directly via the Internet. Topographical maps and aerial photographic layers are expected. Initial services were free for non-commercial use, but premium services will be sold in the future. This is the FAQ. ArcMap documents are here.
