So you plan to bundle all the payments into a monthly bill to avoid fees on each transaction? Doesn't this assume each user will be purchasing enough content to make the fees negligible?
As for the volume we would have to do; Stripe for instance charges 30 cents plus 2.9% for each charge, so the first article a user buys per month pretty much covers the flat fee, after that the percentage acts the same regardless of volume.
Great feedback though! Keep up with the questions.
As for the market, luckily we're based in London which is home to many of the most reputable news outlets in the world. We're already in talks with some of them, but it is indeed a hard industry to try to disrupt.
