Subscription model
Users are charged a periodic: daily, monthly or annual: fee to subscribe to a service. It is not uncommon for sites to combine free content with “premium” (i.e., subscriber- or member-only) content. Subscription fees are incurred irrespective of actual usage rates. Subscription and advertising models are frequently combined.
i) Content Services: provide text, audio, or video content to users who subscribe for a fee to gain access to the service. [Listen.com, Netflix]
ii) Person-to-Person Networking Services: are conduits for the distribution of user-submitted information, such as individuals searching for former schoolmates. [Classmates]
iii) Trust Services: come in the form of membership associations that abide by an explicit code of conduct, and in which members pay a subscription fee. [Truste]
iv) Internet Services Providers: offer network connectivity and related services on a monthly subscription. [America Online]
