Good example.

Of course their deposit/credit system is for their own network of sites however. It's still somewhat micropayment technically. You can spend less than $1, or $50 all the same.
That's how a system like that would get started in adult. Too often we see comments like "the industry should do that" or "the industry should implement that" or "the industry should move that way". Frankly, there's no "industry". There are only people and companies that offer a similar product. The industry doesn't make decisions, it doesn't build new payment systems. Individuals and individual companies do.

A micropayment system like that only has a chance of survival if there's sites using it. it will most likely be one of the bigger programs with a a large network of sites that start offering that micropayment option on their own network (or a new network built around their existing content) and later open it up to others.
