There are some very relevant points, one thing I would point out:
retention / care about the content programming / interaction with existing members base is going to be more important then ever, adult biz powerhouses with a combination of dating / cams / video in place are the best positioned to cope with any potential losses.
As for the international traffic - just to note, we are just testing the brand new site with ccbill / epoch in place so far and in three languages with different and very much local traffic sources.
The numbers so far confirm my theory, that the potential of non English (German and Italian in our case so far) speaking traffic paying with a credit card is probably way higher than what's the general public and presented opinion. More $ / unique sign up then what we could most likely make with phone billing.
The problem I see is that the international members are even not aware they can choose more suitable solutions such as EuroDebet and go for the first choice available, therefore more localisation of the join page neccessary.
