Micropayments
One impediment to electronic commerce is the inability to pay small amounts for an item.
For example, you might be willing to pay a penny to read an article, or 10 cents to watch a video
Standard payment mechanisms can’t handle this
The transaction costs are larger than the amount being exchanged!
A mechanism is needed to allow people to pay small amounts of money for an item
Potential markets for micropayments include:
Songs
Articles
Images
Comic Strips
Stock Quotes
Book pages
Games

早在1996年,Micropayments的先锋之一,CyberCash Inc,主打产品电子钱包(用户下载客户端用于加密信用卡号码)和cybercoin(用户和商户通过cyber coin服务器支付和交换解码),就上市了,股价当日上升79%,一度达到60几块。1999年股价落到10几块,2000年CyberCash没能通过千年虫。2001年破产,被verisign买了。
