I remember suggesting this to Steve Case when he was CEO of AOL. It was before paypal and it would have made a lot of sense for AOL to become the micropayment processor since they already had access to their subscriber's credit cards. I'm glad they really didn't move on it though, because they could have killed the movement of large content companies going to the web with it. Why publish free on the web when you could have made money for articles on AOL? AOL at the time was the largest ISP.
