DoCoMo doesn't have an official "party line" on trial periods before
charging judging from what I've read from all of DoCoMo's vague puffery, 

The larger question is: "What is a fair price to access a iMode or WAP
site."

Today I have to come up with the price access to a music information
site. Dang it, I'm stumped.

I know that $2.85 for one CNN access is absurd. But what is a reasonable
price?  Paying $2.85 to download and execute a stock trading order would
be copacetic with me.

The average price for a charged iMode or WAP service seems to be 250yen
here in Japan? (Pokemon and dating-related services are the only real
successes I have noticed.)

What is the pricing (pain) point for European WAP sites where people
just refuse to pay for accessing?
