I'm assuming this is the case, but can anyone confirm that using a VETiledLayer would fall under the usage guidelines for Bing Maps as described here under "Map Tile Usage":

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff859477.aspx

VETiledLayer documentation:
https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/vetiledlayer-amd.html

Thanks!

It falls under the "REST Services" section on that page:
"Any time an Imagery API URL request is made to get ... to get imagery metadata that contains a map tile URI, one transaction is counted."
"Imagery" refers to streets/imagery/hybrid (not just "imagery").
"metadata" refers to the initial metadata request from VETiledLayer (so you are not getting charged more as you zoom/pan more).
