Offcourse many, but not all people, in Holland/Belgium can read English.
But with 26 million people in this area that have an average of 30 to 40K $ in savings but of which only 20% max. has a creditcard AND where they are used to having OTHER billing methods then creditcards for porn online because of cultural habits, remaining anonomously & trust issues, it just might be interesting for most programs to have a look on this detail.
Adding a biller from outside this Dutch area that geo targets is nice but far from perfect, seen from a cultural point, language point and pay-out point of view.
Why do local billing companies from Holland itself pay out 0,77USD$ per minute (or better) and the popular ones used internationally pay out 0,19USD$ per minute (where the consumer pays the same consumer rates? And that goes for most European countries.
The direct debit has a few different angles also. The ones with possible chargebacks & the ones that are 100% chargeback proof. Within these 2 (both) there is money either moved from client to merchant OR from client to biller and THEN to merchant much later.
And all this varies per country also. It's a complicated market for people outside Europe and/or not so into billing details.
