Micropayments for News

Sounds good to me. Some think differently. Naturally.

The people who run media orgs and dislike the micropayment idea, the obviously simple idea for them is not to offer micropayments. No need to criticize media orgs that offer micropayments.

It's about innovation. The only way to know whether micropayments work for a particular media org is for that org to try it. How is that wrong or bad?
