The 2 models will probably need a much different billing approach, as they have a very different nature. Obviously the big question on the Freemium model has always been on how you can monetize it and if its a solid business option.


MFC did the start, but definitely Cam4 took it on another level aiming at a more amateuer audience, they are at 250 of Alexa now, crazy growth.... Lately I hear several companies are working on launching aff. programs with WLs based on the same concept. LJ is also playing with social functions, Imlive pushing hard on the mobile etc. There is a lot of movement in the Cam business and I think all the panelists will give us a great insight on the tendencies and strategies!
