I understand Bandai have a _website_ in japan which also has quite a few
thousand paying members/players. For a card game? Maybe mystic grapple or is
that an imode product?
I also heard excite@home japan were intending to put a billing system in
place. Since they are an ISP as well, they can do this and make it painless
for the consumer (read: small bill addition).
In the US, the wall street journal I think is the only commercially
succesful sub model. And this because of the print edition's content and
resources.
Oh, and then there's porn...
Are there any succesful pay-for-porn sites on imode? I realize that NTT
would not sanction them, so again porn may blaze a trail for a 3rd party
billing system...
