| Description | The SPICE platform should introduce a clear and to the point tariff structure in order to entice consumers to adopt services offered on the platform. |
| Rationale | A difference for the user has to be made between the revenue model and the revenue sharing model. The user is only interested in the former, with the latter being transparent and not of interest to him. Users want easy-to-use services, and an essential element hereof is the clarity and uniformity of the tariff structure(s). Users are inclined towards clear service structures with clear and uniform tariff plans. Examples of the success of such formulae can be found in iTunes and iMode. |
