Two hundred eighty-five dollars?  For an electronic copy?  Guess, I'll 
be using the latest draft...

And what about the price for BS ISO/IEC 14882:2011?  It is basically the 
ISO/IEC 14882:2011 standard with a couple of pages with the BS logo slapped 
at the beginning and at the end, and for that kind of added value they 
charge $761.  What a ripoff.

Have a look at the thread "Reasonably priced C11 standard?" on comp.std.c.

Costs a lot to make a standard and it's not exactly a popular novel.

Don't tell me ANSI actually does something to "make a standard".  As I 
understand the process, it's all done by members and sponsors, which, 
after the Standard is published, don't actually see a penny from the 
proceeds ANSI gets selling the right to download that PDF.  And it would 
be popular if it were priced like the previous edition, around $30...

How much did ISO, IEC, EN or any other international standards organization 
spent making this standard?

I wonder who falls for that.  I wouldn't buy an electronic
copy for $20.  They would have to make it about $11 to make
it tempting.

Hey, they have to pay for all the hotel rooms for ANSI staffers at the
committee meetings somehow.

Here http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3337.pdf you have 
the first draft of the next standard which only has some editorial changes 
with respect to the c++11 standard.
