DigitalGlobe Partners With Mapbox To Launches Its Maps API
August 13th, 2015 by Tom Johnson

Very high quality satellite imagery integrated into the MapBox APIs and SLA:
​From the post:
Most developers, however, don’t just want pretty satellite imagery (with resolutions of down to 30 centimeter per pixel in some regions). They also need street data and other information. To offer developers that, the company has partnered with Mapbox, an OpenStreetMap-based mapping service. Mapbox will distribute DigitalGlobe’s imagery and back the service with an SLA.​
​This seems like a huge deal especially if the data can be used for Live Texture or other ​image computations.
