Based on what I just went through to get my account unlocked, I believe it 100% to be true. And I also believe this is going to be big news really soon.
It's possibly they are testing it on select markets first. Maybe even select accounts in select markets. The amount is so small, who wouldn't pay for it? $1 a month is cheap. Only a buck from every Asian user would make them rich beyond anything they could ever imagine.

The principals of FB already rich beyond what they ever imagined! Seriously though if true, this is going to be interesting to see the reaction here in North America if they even consider trying it here. I believe the culture of free is so pervasive now that people would be up in arms over the idea of paying even a token $1/month for FB and they would go way out of their way to not do so. It would certainly create an opportunity for a similar site that doesn't charge to displace FB the same way that FB displaced MySpace.
