Exploiting Global Traffic

Has anyone thought of creating mini-paysites for those that can't afford high priced paysites? I spent this week hanging around a couple of South American message boards. A $30 membership can be alot of money to someone in Argentina where the average middle class PC user only makes $500 a month. Several programs, such as Naughty America, have limited content access for the trial period in order to encourage full membership conversions. Why not create foreign language mini-paysites that offer 5-10 scenes for $5 a month? The low price point would allow for alternative billing solutions. A program could view this as a monthly online magazine with the possibility upselling. The 5-10 scene member's area would be refreshed monthly. This would encourage brand loyalty from a consumer that would have been redirected to aggressive dialers in the past.

Example:

RevistaLightSpeed.com - a Spanish language mini-paysite that uses local micropayment systems to promote Steve's famous stable of cute models. The $5 SMS payment give Juan Surfer access to 5-10 scenes. First World porn repackaged at a Third World price.
