If what maestro say will REALLY happen soon, punkworld is very much correct, sales will _EXPLODE_. The converage of Maestro in Europe is HIGHER than VISA/MC in USA (percentage wise of course). This could be a VERY BIG THING. Of course, Maestro is owned by Mastercard, so they know what adult is already and know how to handle it, so there will be issues, but this is a VERY GOOD THING if it really happends. Banks need to participate though, which means this is probably kinda like Verified By Visa, which is a bad thing since banks in europe generally are quite bad with integrating internet stuff in their cards, I for example do not know many banks (none exist in germany) that support Verified by Visa.
I think that *if* it happens and becomes widely accepted, a 20% growth in overall online adult sales is not unthinkable.
