How many of you spend money on the Internet?

Just back from Prague where I had a very interesting conversation with a professor of IT marketing. He's at Brunei University and in Prague for the show to learn more about mobile phones marketing.

He said, and I think it generally true, broadly speaking people buy on mobile phones services and products they would not pay for on the Internet. He stated music, porn, chat, info, etc as examples. And stated it was not the "availability" that was the problem. It was the way people perceive the two services. One is where you pay for everything the other is where it should be free.

So who here buys on the Net, non adult/business related, and what are your patterns of buying?
