>There will be monthly fee plans based on how many functions calls are invoked on it. It will probably be a flat fee based on forcasted average uses. Light users will subsidize heavy users. Like all sorts of services that come before it. Amazon is already great at this. It is marketing hell to introduce some type of credit per use system. Adds too much stress on end-users.
