That would be ideal, I would love that, I've seen improvements during the last couple of years and I'm we will see further improvements as well as more and more countries coming a long in the future as well

It's definitely improving, we are working now on getting charges higher than 20-25+ approved in some countries, compared to 2 years ago where the maximum was about 5-10 USD per sms

- you could authorize re billing without having to confirm every time a new charge is to be done

We can already do this, only the initial transaction needs approval

Of course there's the 18+ authorization and lot of restrictions regarding telecommunications locally in every each country, so this is very unlikely to happen.

The 18+ (adult) content is excluded when the contract is made, not on the purchase of the content, that makes it a lot easier!
