In answer to your question, yes.
Perhaps the employees are allowed to submit their bills to Oracle for reimbursement.
Any Fortune 500 company is going to have to deal with a number of accounting issues which would probably preclude them from giving thousands of dollars’ worth of material away.

When you attach a price to a precious commodity (like OOW presentation content) then one appreciates the true value of the same.
That must be the logic for charging for the OOW content to non-paid attendees (which includes employees)
The other reason may be to encourage attendees to go for full registration next year.
For sure, this is not an attempt to add to the bottom line.
Hi Atul, Thanks for visiting the Oracle OpenWorld Blog. Please let me clarify the facts of the case you refer to in your post. Oracle highly values the ongoing education of its employees and strongly encourages and supports them in taking advantage of many types of educational resources. The Oracle OpenWorld On Demand portal is one such resource that employees are encouraged to use. Oracle engaged the services of Altus, a leading knowledge sharing company to build and run the Oracle OpenWorld On Demand portal. The $100 access fee for Oracle employees is paid by Oracle to Altus for the services they provide. Oracle employees simply have to go through their usual process to submit this expense.
