There's no pay model yet, and what I think he meant is that people can opt to charge for them if they wish. To do that though, they would have to go through Blizzard approval to make sure their standards are high enough. It does not mean a map will cost as soon as it has custom content. In any case, there's no pay for maps service yet.
Maps are however hosted by Blizzard, regardless of whether they're free or not. Any one account can only host, or publish as it is called, five maps at time, which are stored on Blizzard's servers.
Not to mention that these published maps are the ONLY map (except -recently played maps- or the top 50) that you can play decide to make a game and play with friends. Just wanted to say that, because the system is incredibly bad right now.

True, and I agree it is pretty bad. Why Blizzard actually implemented it I don't know, but if I were to guess, I'd say they wanted to make people only add really good maps and not keep a lot of clutter in their map lists. Either that, or they want to make sure people can't screw with people's computers somehow :turned:

i'm sure it looks like i'm reviving this thread but there's actually news about this.
according to the german magazine Gamestar (for those that can speak german www.gamestar.de ) mentioned that with patch 1.1 (at least in the States and South Asia) there's an option to play with those regions aswell. for Europe we'll have to wait for an additional patch (mini-patch?) in order to play with people from other regions.
