Starting to look at the blogcasting or broadcatching depending on who’s nomenclature you want to use. I am really enjoying Adam Curry’s daily audio feed. You can check it out at Daily Source Code.
Look forward to producing a couple different shows in the next week or two and get my internet radio experience turned back on.
: Some good points by Ovum analyst…”Wireless personalisation applications have resisted price erosion to date. Applications such as polyphonic ringtones, which are superseded by more sophisticated alternatives such as
mastertones, will see their price eroded over time. As mastertones hit the mass market they will also be subject to pressure over pricing.” [PaidContent.org]
: The market for online and mobile micropayments will have a compounded annual growth rate of 23 percent until 2009 and will total $11.5 billion in revenues by then, up from just over $2 billion in 2003, according to a new research by TowerGroup.
According to the research, in 2003, the total value of Internet micropayment transactions in the US was $1.9 billion — driven primarily by media and Internet publishing services, and digital music (e.g., iTunes), and other audio services. Mobile micropayments sales in the US (such as for content like ringtones) accounted for $0.15 billion in 2003.
Also, despite emerging demand, micropayments today are still characterized by a large number of competing transaction types. Fee models for processing micropayments include: direct-to-bill (mainly seen in mobile telecom); merchant aggregation (where small charges are grouped and submitted as a single transaction); prepaid accounts (pre-funded by a customer); and direct transfer (where a user’s bank or other account is directly accessed to pull necessary funds). Each of these face the current incumbent in digital content distribution: the flat-fee subscription model. [PaidContent.org]
