MICROBILLING - an old term been discussed and proposed for many years. Let's cart out that old acorn and try try again.
I would like to see Apple manage microbilling for downloads at very low rates we can set to be as small as 1¢ per download. I plan to pursue this model with Apple directly as I live near corporate HQ. Rocketboom could offer an expanded tier for 1¢ each and reap $5,000 a week that way - assuming 100,000 daily downloads. And why doesn't Apple tell us how many downloads a day are happening from our Video Podcasts listed in their Podcast Directory? Who knows and why aren't they sharing? Seems like valuable info to me. I guess that's why. -- Taylor Barcroft http://www.blogger.com/profile/11159903 New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist, Webcaster, Futurecaster Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley URL http://FutureMedia.org RSS http://feeds.feedburner.com/FutureMedia iTunes http://tinyurl.com/8ql87 On Oct 12, 2005, at 2:56 PM, Digital wrote: > Currently downloads are free. > > What can we do as an ad hoc organization to share in a revenue stream > with this new distribution opportunity? > > Apple signs agreements with the "labels".
