I'm not much interested in CD subscriptions, as they are out of date by the time they arrive. What about a special net subscription, which gives you a login id and password for a FTP/WWW server that gives you guarrenteed access? I hate it when I need to get something (last time was a copy of committlogs to see what had changes in libc_r), and ftp.freebsd.org is full. Also, another subscription service that would interesting in binary patchkits via the net. Send out e-mail to paying members notifying of them of significant patch kits available, and provide a single command interface for install. You'd have to pay for a part-time person to keep together a patch-building system though. I personally spend a _lot_ of resources doing this via buildworld, installworld, etc. I wonder how many more companies do this.
