The learning curve still has to finish its upswing.

Hey liz, we should have had a natter about this at the show!
do you reckon the future is to give people time to feel safe using a CC or should people entering the mobile market look to have an alternate billing option. I mentioned before, some of our customers have shown us that in the EU and Tri Nations, premium rate, reverse sms or direct operator billing is commonplace and converts sometimes as much as 10X that of CC.
there are a number of companies out there who can help mobile webmasters with alternate billing but it seems some people find it hard to take the traffic outside of their own territory, seriously despite the fact it could be more valuable.
