Hinweis der Redaktion
Avira – typed in micropayments, 100M users. $30 premium package, would take 50 cents, primarily an ad vehicle right now. Other vendors, same price range, 20 cents, $1K vendor would take $40. typical conversions .5-2% in mobile apps, games, below 1%. So we had the micropayment engine; how could we apply it to this problem?
