Are you developing pay-to-use solutions?

Hi, just curious about what strategies you guys are aiming to/currently using when it comes to generating money from your programs?

Except www.handango.com I find very little possibility in this area except being a service provider to a local operator.

What ideas have you guys had? Especially in the area of receiving payment/and controlling downloads over WAP/GPRS.

Masabi have partnered with Bango and are developing a pay-per-event solution which I understand to be currently in advanced beta phase with a number of other developers (see www.masabi.com for more info)

I think its this kind of micropayment solutions which hold the key, as folks can buy apps and then only pay if they use/play them.
