One that I heard today is that sometime in the near future there will be a flat rate plan for Sharp MFPs. That's all I have for right now, hoping others can chime in an report

The flat rate plan is not going to be just for copiers/MFPs. It's going to essentially be a "smart office" bundle offered at a flat monthly rate. The bundle will include a Sharp MFP, an interactive display, a server, and Sharp's new Synappx software. Details/pricing are not yet confirmed.
