  I first read about micropayments as the solution to people reading for free on the web in the 1990's. I won't say it will never work because the idea of making $0.01 everytime someone reads some body else's content on the internet is so attractive and rooted in the way we think about goods. I don't think that there is a scalable good user experience to be had. A good experience is a balance between the content the user wants/needs/enjoys, the nature of the layout, and the costs [in time, money, and complexity]. The marketplace problem isn't technical, it's variation in values among buyers and sellers. Everyone is committed to arbitrage and increasing the complexity of transactions doesn't make life easier.
