Payment within the internet - How Micropayment will change the internet (ePub)

Seminar paper from the year 2000 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7 (A-), University of Helsinki (Economics), language: English, abstract: 1998, I¿m loading down a new song of Madonna. I don¿t have to pay anything. Then I need old exams of my universtiy to train for my exam next month. I visit the page of the Student Union and I find three former exams of the last year. I download them for free. Now I¿m hungry. Lunch time. But what to cook? No Problem with the internet. Just www.kochen.de and I get a nice prescription to make Lasange. Of course for free.

2003, I¿m loading down a new song of Michael Jackson. Costs 0,5 EUR. Next week I¿m writing an exam in Marketing. I would like to practice and download old exams offering by the Student Union. I have to pay 0,2 EUR per paper. I feel hungry. What about cooking? Why not the prescription of making "Sauerkraut"? I will get it for only 0,4EUR.

New ideas of payment within the internet are asked. These solution should offer comfort and secure. Today there are lot of payment solutions for Online-Shops like Credit card, debit or cash on delivery. But payment systems to sell information, music, or other things with the internet are in a developing process.
Where is the train going? And what are the future¿s best Micro Payment Systems?
