It might be interesting to see some innovation in the subscription model for web sites, as (maybe it's just me) folks can only take so many $10-$20 hits to their wallet every month. I have a tough enough time shelling out $60 for a cell phone...
On the other hand, cloud computing is making a lot of headway with "pay only for what you use" pricing at VERY easy-to-swallow rates. Who can argue 15 cents a GB and a penny for a thousand hits on Amazon S3 (don't remember the exact #s, but that's not far off). Taking a lead from iTunes, they might consider small incremental 'fees' for important things that their power users do - contacting more than 10 friends at once, pushing/pulling data via their API, vendor profiles, etc. There are more than 2 ways to make money...could be they just haven't thought hard enough about it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
