As usual the big teams will turn what on paper looks a good idea into a non-starter !!!!
This is just one example of how the FIA will never get an across the board agreement to cut costs, which is an issue many teams like to talk about, but not many actually want to do, in case the others don't!
I think that one of the reasons that Jag and Renault may not go for the Friday testing is because they don't want to be seen as a 'less serious' team, the implication being that only serious teams will go for the unlimited testing -whereas cash strapped teams like Minardi and Jordan are forced into Friday testing as they can't afford any other.
Maybe Paul Stoddart's approach has not helped, he seems to have approached the new testing plans as some sort of 'arrive 'n drive' cash generator for the team, as opposed to saying it will help them with serious development on the cars.
