(keitai-l) ezweb open billing

hello,

a couple of weeks ago i read a press release that kddi would open
the ezweb billing system to non-official content providers.
it said that the application could be done simply via web interface
and that content quality would be checked from time to time by a
"content patrol".

press release is here:

and some nice graphics illustrating the model:

i remember that the possible opening of the i-mode billing was
discussed here a lot. now it finally happend and noone talks about
it.

does anyone know how they are doing with the new revenue model?


cheers

oliver
