Maybe a pay per click business model where you get a monthly bill from your IP for your internet activity in websites that require payment is an alternative

- dvtrn 9y agoThat seems fraught with peril for abuse, I'm already handing over enough money to those crooks at my ISP..
- aiCeivi9 9y agoIt already is abused. I don't know anyone who used "Direct carrier billing" on-purpose, it is only used by scammers.
- jstarfish 9y agoWe already tried this with pay-per-SMS, 1-900 lines, roaming charges, data overage charges and premium content on cell phones (ringtones, wallpapers, etc) and it was a nightmare-- before you know it your bill is $1000. Its also a nightmare for those of us who have to keep a close eye on AWS spending. Someone spins up an x1-large you didn't notice? Too bad, now pay us. Its a terrible model for consumers in general. My wallet should not be open by default.
